Not all that much to report today... and with a day off to boot. It's days like today that I'm grateful I made the pledge to pick up the guitar every day this year, even if it's only for a little bit. Between all of the stuff I needed to do on my day off, and all of the odd things that tried to get in the way of getting everything done, I was lucky to find a few minutes here and there to pick up the guitar and play, just as a way to break up everything else that happened. Did I accomplish much today? Not terribly, but it was nice to just have a few moments today when the music was exactly what I needed it to be: a respite from everything else going on in my day.
Short one today. I've got a bunch of the DVDs that Guitar World has put out. Waded through those to see what I had, worked off of the lead guitar one. Just basic scales , but still a light place to begin. It was nice to just start loosening up my fingers again. Off from work tomorrow, so hopefully I'll get a lot of playing done. Said I'd mention the other project I'm hoping to finish this year. Back when I was living in WI, I started a hard rock band with a friend of mine. She was heavily influenced by Evanescence, and so, with her as vocalist, we started writing songs. We had written and demoed almost a full album's worth of music by the time I moved to IA, and had even purchased a P.A. in preparation for eventual gigs. We never did find a permanent drummer or bassist, so our demos sound very rough (and not nearly loud enough). I'd like to finish those songs, and make an EP of the 4 or 5 strongest, just as a way to put a cap on that project. More tom...
