So, for the first time in forever, I'm late posting. That's what I get for falling asleep on the couch. I played for a bit when I got home from work, though, so that makes it easier to just sit down and write. Much of it was like yesterday, getting myself to feel better about my acoustic playing. I still have it in my head that I need to start writing again soon, but I figure, if it's not happening naturally, I'm not going to worry about it all that much. It'll happen when it's supposed to, right? Still, I think I need to be more diligent about carrying a notebook on my person at all times. Some old habits don't need to change in the new year.
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...
