As with seemingly every night this week, I sat with the acoustic this evening. I dropped the acoustic a half step to mess around with the acoustic part that J. wants guide tracks on. I'm fairly certain I've got the verses down, I've just got to recall the chorus progression, and then I'll be able to blast through the whole thing right quick. After that, I wound up messing around with another progression instead. Made a tiny bit of progress on that front too.
Still, I managed to burn the CD with the demo mixes, and then the drum & bass tracks on their own. This way, I can listen to it in the car, and burn into my mind where the entrances are. I know the others are waiting on me, and either tomorrow night after work or Tuesday during the day I will get the tracks recorded and toss them in the dropbox.
I had a couple of people tell me this week that I need to be playing open mics. They're right. And possibly because they're right, I sat down with the binder full of acoustic songs tonight as well. It was really just a case of paging through the binder to remind myself what was there, but something became obvious to me within the first ten songs or so: I need to find some songs that aren't in the key of G. So much of what I have seems to fall in that key, and if I'm going to be out there playing for people, I think I'll need to change it up, so as not to be a one trick pony.
Time to go back to the guitar for a bit tonight before I pass out.
