Tonight was a songwriting night, all the way. Or, perhaps more accurately put, a demo starting night.
I sat down tonight with the goal of making sure the chord progression I've been tinkering with since the end of last week (the one that, in my head, opens my debut record), was finished, and I think that, with the little bit of tinkering I finished up over the weekend, it is. At this point, anything else that needs to be adjusted will become obvious in the recording of the demo.
Setting the tempo for the song was a bit tougher, and it took me a little while to figure out where the groove was, but I got there eventually. I also started to figure out drum sounds for the demo, and found something that seems to work pretty well, so that's cool.
That got me through the first step on my list from the #STARTexp this summer. If I were holding to the pattern from July and August, that would mean that tomorrow night I'd be writing the bass line. Not sure that I'm going to commit to that kind of schedule again right away, but knowing me, I'll probably at least have a go at figuring something out in that regard.
As per usual, I also worked out the lick of the day from Guitar Aerobics.
I also did some work with the 12 bar blues progression. Key of G tonight. I really need to get back to that Blues Goldmine book. There's a lot of fun stuff in there.
