Day Three Hundred Thirty Nine (Year Three)

One of the things on my list for today was to start wading through the guitar magazines I've picked up recently.  Got that process started tonight, and in so doing stumbled across a column in the latest issue of Guitar World that fits in nicely with some of the stuff I've been working on lately.  Written by Andy Aledort, it's a column on incorporating scales into your practice routine.

One of the things on my list for the weekend is to do more sorting and sifting through all of the resources I've got here, and try to get things into feasible groupings for study.  I've started doing this before, but have never made it through everything.

Did some more looking into Pro Tools today.  More research (and perhaps more saving) needs to be done before I solve it exactly.  I need to make sure that everything I get ties in with everything I already have.

One other thing to mention tonight.  You know that old phrase, "if you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got?"  Well, I did something this week that I've never done before, and I think it's going to help my musical endeavors.  Here's the story:

I've read a couple of books in the past year by a guy named Jon Acuff.  He posted on his blog the other day
(http://www.jonacuff.com/blog/) something about an "Adventure" he was starting, and invited people to email him if they were interested in being a part of it.  Normally, I would glance at these sorts of things, pass them by, and then wonder later on if I should have taken part.  This time, I stepped up and sent in my info.  Got accepted into the Adventure, too.

It doesn't start until the 8th of July, which means that it runs into the beginning of August... also known as right before we move to Dubuque.  I figure, if that helps me get my songs in order before we move, then I might as well just go for it.

DayOne Hundred Sixty Nine (Year Eight)

Today was another good day.  I spent all of it with my brother, which I needed a lot, even though I just saw him over Christmas. Tonight we finally got around to some music discussion.  He took a look at my list of goals for the year, and sees it as a really good set of steps to get me where I'd like to be from where I am.  I picked his brain about a few of the nagging questions I still had as I get started, and he was able to put my mind at ease. Having a chance to sit and chat with him is always good for my musical soul, because he constantly drives me to be a better, more well rounded player, and I'm pretty sure that I can never thank him enough for all of the advice, support, and encouragement he offers every time we chat.

Day Two Hundred Six (Year Four)

Today was the first official day of the second half of my "album-in-a-month" challenge. As for today's goals, I wanted to see what I could get done in regards to track order, and get at least a little bit of a start on the lyric writing process. I spent more time working on the track order question than I did on the lyrics today, but as a result of that, I ended up with something that I think will work in terms of order. I did sit with the notebook for a few minutes at the very end of the day, and got a solid starting line of lyric and some other ideas that I hope will be jumping off points for lyrics. What I'm thinking I might do, however, is switch my focus from the lyric writing part of the process directly to the recording part of the process.  That way, if I can get the music recorded and burned onto a CD, I can take the music with me in the car, and listen and try to see what images and thoughts the music brings up.  It's a tactic that has worked for...

Day One Hundred Thirty (Year Five)

I got more time in the studio today than I have in a long time.  It wasn't quite enough for me (as always), but it was a productive re-introduction, I thought, to my life in the studio.  I: 1) Got a bit of reading done in Songs & Solos 2) Dragged out the tab book for Recovering The Satellites in preparation for the Counting Crows shows that are coming this month.  Worked on a bit of "A Long December," and a bit of "Have You Seen Me Lately."  What struck me, in taking a closer look at the tab, were the fills and arpeggios that make up a lot of the non-vocal melody.  It's fun to play, and it comes as a teaching opportunity when it comes to songwriting. 3)  I decided on the Tom Waits Biography, Low Side Of The Road for my music reading this month. 4) I didn't get to as much of the lead guitar & fretboard work as I would have liked to, but that will give me something to focus on as the week goes along. All told, it was a really good day....
