Tonight was a really good night of music.
I got into the studio and worked on a few different aspects of my playing. I worked on my soloing, over one of the simple, bluesy progressions I had worked with earlier. It wasn't perfect tonight, by any means, but it was a lot better than it was the last time around.
And again, as usual, I worked on scales and key signatures for a little while.
The other thing I did tonight was go back to the demos I had recorded in February. I've known all along that they were going to need some electric guitar parts dropped on them at some point in time, and tonight I just wanted to play along and try to get a feel for how things are going to sound when all the parts are in place. I've got to say, some of the tempos strike me as a bit slow (which I expected), and I may trim it down from a full length album to an EP, but just playing the electric along with what I had, I think these songs are going to sound really cool when I get them completely finished.
Perhaps the coolest thing that happened tonight, however, was running across a 9 part speech on YouTube that John Mayer gave at Berklee a number of years ago. Whether you like his music or not, the guy can flat out play, and the speech looked interesting. I watched the first 3 of the 9 parts the video was broken down into, and it was indeed really cool. I can't wait to catch the rest of it the next few days.
