So, day #9 of the Start Experiment (also known as Day #1 of work on song #2) was a smashing success. I got the chords down for all of the song #2, and found the tempo after what felt like a long time spent searching for it.
I didn't really want to move on from the first week's project until I got all of the kinks ironed out, but I fought that urge by telling myself that the quicker I got everything done for this week's tune, the more time I'd have to finish up work on the one from last week.
That being said, after ironing out both chords and tempo, I took a quick look at bass line possibilities for the new song. Found a few ideas I liked enough to jot down for further perusal tomorrow (I've got the afternoon off!). If anything at all goes according to plan tomorrow, there's a significant chance that I could end the day even farther ahead than I am now. In a perfect world, I'd be able to get both the drums and the bass part sorted out and laid down, but I don't want to get too far ahead of myself just yet.
Picked up The Blessed Unrest by Sara Bareilles tonight. I've been curious about her new disc for a while now, and it came out a couple of weeks ago. Tonight was the first time I've been somewhere I had the chance to pick it up. That should make for a enjoyable listen tomorrow in the car.
All told, today was pretty good, and tomorrow is looking like it will be even better! Wish me luck.
