Tonight was a random hodgepodge of stuff in the studio. I:
1) Got things cleaned up a little bit. The piles of magazines, CDs, and other stuff was starting to crowd me in, so I spent some time getting a bunch of it put away. It's not perfect, but it gave me the floor space to feel like I could breathe enough to work tonight, so that was good.
2) Sat down to work on theory & scale stuff, but wasn't really feeling it tonight, so instead I,
3) Picked up the acoustic and worked through a couple of things at random from the iPod. One of them was a song called "Delilah" by Teddy Thompson. It's essentially an A-F#m-D-E progression with a few slight adjustments thrown in for the bridge. Once I figured that out, and it didn't take long, I played around for a bit, putting the capo in different places and seeing how it sounded that way. I really liked it in the key of G (capoed at the 2nd fret).
Admittedly, it wasn't as much as I hoped to get done today, but it sets the table for tomorrow and Monday, and for that I'm happy.
