All right, I won't waste any time here... the official work on the hard rock record is starting on Wednesday. I talked with B. for two hours tonight (after texting back and forth for a bit before hand), and I really think we would've started tonight, but her internet was being difficult.
I know I've said it before in the last few days, but I'm so excited to get back to this music.
The Wednesday start will be good. We're both off that day, so depending on when we get going, we'll have a good chunk of time to devote to getting everything set up, and then maybe getting started on a bit of the music. If we can get her set up on Skype, and get a bit of the file transferring done, that'll be a successful first day in my book.
Plus, it'll give me another day to try and sort out the progression I was working on yesterday. It's funny, you know, she said she was going to go through all of the old stuff, and me, I'm more worried about all of the new ideas that have bounced across my mind in the last 4 years. So, I guess between the two of us we'll hopefully be okay? Oh well, that's always the way it has gone in the past.
B. said she was playing through the old tunes today, trying to remember how they go... glad I'm not the only one who struggles with that after 4 years. One of the ones we were the highest on uses a lot of barre chords, and she was saying her hands were hurting after she remembered what the progressions were. I went through the same thing a few months back. And something tells me that she's going to have an easier time with recall on some of it than I have been.
Guess it's really time to step up the practicing on my lead playing. I'm thinking my fingers are going to need to be quicker than they are at the present in order to do the solos justice. Actually getting back to working on this makes me want to go out and buy another electric. Something that's a little more "heavy rock" than my Strat. Like maybe a Les Paul. And while I'm at it, I'd really love to have a 12 String acoustic again... might add some cool touches for this stuff. And if we're dreaming here, one of those electronic drum kits would save us a whole lot of trouble. Oh, if only it were that easy... regardless of that, I say: bring on the rock & roll.
