Title: Comfort Zone
Post by: folderol on February 19, 2017, 04:55:16 PM
After too many late night coding sessions I needed a break, so decided to play one of my old favourites, only to my horror, discovered I could no longer play it - nor any of my other older compositions I used to be able to just rattle off one after another. I decided that no matter what, I was going to play at least one of these every day until I got them right.

That was in January.

Today I was able to play through three of them (almost) without error, and to give myself a little reward I then just played whatever came to mind.

This is the result :)

I hope you'll enjoy Genesis

This is a nice number. Very powerful chord sequences.

It might benefit from a bridge with some faster notes? Not sure about that ... just a thought.

Care to share what happened to the old stuff? Bit rot?

Thanks, much appreciated.

The bit-rot was in my head  ::)
By playing older pieces, I mean sticking both hands on the keys, only I think someone must have jumbled them all up :P

Oh. I misunderstood when I read the original message. I thought you meant that recorded stuff wasn't playable anymore :)

I understand about jumbled keys. I do wish that whoever was doing that would stop!

Will, this is a beautiful piece of music.  Great chord progression.

Don't feel bad as my old arthritic hands can't play half of what they used to be able to play.

Thanks Mario. Hopefully, getting in more practice will help offset the {cough} maturing {cough} process a bit.
