Today was a fun hodgepodge of musical goodness. I played some acoustic before heading off to work, picked up a Hendrix magazine and a Guitar World DVD on Zeppelin while I was at work, and read some stuff on record labels once I got home. All in all, not as much playing as I'd hoped for, but still a day filled with any number of musical things. The wide variety of activities was awesome today. It's nice to know that I can fill my day with various musical things, and feel accomplished, even if I've got to work. Some days it's a struggle to feel good about it if I'm scheduled late. Still a process, two months in. In fact, it's been exactly two months to the day! I started on the 24th of July, if I remember correctly.
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...
