Day Two Hundred Ten (Year Two)

I got up somewhat early today.  It gave me a chance to do a little playing before I had to go to work.  The chief result of this playing was my discovering that I actually still liked the work I had gotten done last night.  That happens with me a lot, where I'll find an idea I like one moment, and then later discover that I don't like it half as much as I thought I did.  It's actually a chief reason why my lyrics are in a perpetual state of "undone."

The cool thing about this morning is that it represents progress from the last time I worked on songs for this project.  Last time, I woke up the next day and hated nearly everything I had been working on the day before. 

No, I think this time I've got myself a solid group of three or so ideas, with maybe a holdover from the previous writing session that still hasn't quite sorted itself out yet.  I know that leaves quite a bit of work still to be done, but in all fairness, I haven't had this much progress on anything for a solo project in a long, long time, so as long as it's working, I'll continue to take it for what it is: progress.  And I've still got a week and a half to go.  I admitted to myself a while back that I wasn't thinking everything would be recorded this month, and in a way, that has freed me up to make sure the musical ideas aren't just thrown together for the sake of having something.  I still need to work faster and find the good at a quicker pace if I'm going to get this done, but I want to have a record that sounds unique and creative at the same time, and I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

It's good.  It's working.  I didn't get as much done today as I could have, but tomorrow night should be a productive one for this, so that's exciting for me.

Day Two Hundred Twenty Seven (Year Two)

So, the new Springsteen disc is amazing.  There's enough of a mixture of his upbeat rockers, his ballads, and his message songs to make this his best record since The Rising .  And speaking of that record... Buying The Boss the day it comes out always takes me back to a specific moment in life.  It was July 30th, 2002, the year after 9/11, the year after someone on the streets of New York told Springsteen "we need you now."  I had driven to Oshkosh, WI to visit some friends, when I remembered that Springsteen's disc was scheduled to come out that day.  I drove downtown to The Exclusive Company, but had to park a few blocks back.  At the time, there wasn't much going on downtown, but when I got out of the car, I could hear this music coming from up the block somewhere.  The closer I got to Exclusive, the more it began to dawn on me, they had set up a giant set of speakers in their upstairs windows, and were blasting the new album out into the streets....

Day Two Hundred Twenty Six (Year Four)

So I dove back into 100 Riffs tonight, going into it with the hope that the hand written tabs I did last night would help me unlock the issue I was having transitioning from the first half of the riff to the second half.  It worked.  With both halves clearly written in front of me, I was able to work through the transition that had been tripping me up when the screen cut off was happening on SoundSlice.  That's going to be a nice thing to have in my bag of tricks for the times when I get stumped figuring these things out. I played a little bit of acoustic tonight as well, trying to be better about finding the balance between both instruments.  Late 90's-early 2000's rock has come up a lot in conversations at work of late, so in that spirit, I picked a song from that time period out of my set list notebook ("Your Winter" by Sister Hazel), and took a quick look at it.  Admittedly, it's a song I had mostly learned a long time ago, so the essential parts of it w...

Day Two Hundred Thirteen (Year Five)

Finally!  A really good day.  And one that I really needed after the frustration with the rest of the weekend. I took a step back from a few things today, and got what I hope will be a bit of clarity in the process.  Instead of worrying about the progress I really haven't been making on the EP, I told myself that I needed to be happy with the few bits of lyric I stumbled across today, and that maybe I needed to focus my attention elsewhere, at least for today. I had picked up a really cool book on music theory as it applies to guitar last Tuesday when I was out and about, and having spent a little bit of time paging through it over the last few days, I focused in on it tonight and started reading, taking notes, and reinforcing some things.  It felt like progress.  It was great. When I had worked through some of that, I moved on to the whole "100 Riffs" thing, and got myself moving on that again.  It's astounding how much I can get inside my own head a...
