Title: And about time too!
Post by: folderol on May 06, 2011, 09:19:39 PM
You can always tell when I'm going through an inspiration 'desert'. I start reprising old tunes, and generally faffing about all over the place.

Well now.
This evening I was doing the faffing thing with a quiet chord progression loping in the background and just playing any old thing on the guitar... only something happened. A few notes stuck together interestingly here and there, then a few more.

Trying not to stop I hit record, then just carried on. Eventually my fingers got too sore and I had to stop, but here is just a snippet. it is very raw and will need a lot of work, but there is definitely something there.

The genesis of a song. Congratulations! (it is always fascinating to observe the creative process in action) O0

Should be a very tasty tune when it's all sorted out. 8)

Thanks a lot for your support guys.

Here I've defined one 'verse' and cleaned things up a bit. Still a long way to go (and I've got sore fingers again).

It's very hard work for me developing tunes on the guitar I'm so used to keys ::)

Schweet! Good melody, and an unbeatable combination of sounds. Wear those sore fingers proudly, Picker. You've earned them...(http://www.clicksmilies.com/s1106/musik/music-smiley-006.gif)

Will this is coming along very nicely!  I love this chord progression and that picking ain’t to shabby either!  Great job!

It's very hard work for me developing tunes on the guitar I'm so used to keys ::)

We have a lot in common as “It’s very hard for me developing tunes on the KEYS I’m so used to the GUITAR” :)

Keep up the good guitar work.

Version 1 reminded me of my niece when she repeats.  ;D But version 2 is already much better. Bravo for melody, like a lot. One more effort for your fingers and it will be perfect.  :D
