Five Little Words - From Melody to ROCK!

Five little words was inspired by those kind words said to me yesterday.  They made me want to pick up the guitar and play and that inspiration it seems has a mind of it's own today.

This is getting interesting!!

Part 1

I did an experiment today, I had the guitar and I just started strumming away choosing chords as I went, they're simple bog standard Key of C (mostly minor as normal!) but I just WENT FOR IT.  It was so much fun but then I thought ooh this is actually quite cool, hooked up to Studio One and just went for it on there, no re-recording just go...!

Then time for noodling.  Again same rules just go, don't worry just feel the emotion and see what happens.

Put down the guitar, sit at drums and impro - yes I know doing drums third is dumb but there was a point I wanted to have the music to impro over so I wouldn't be so straight especially with the fills.  Same rules again just go for it, listen to the music and feel the 'groove' haha!

Bass I'm afraid is simple - there was no room left with all the bad timing at this point!!

The whole thing took 40 minutes and here is the recording - no editing of tidying, no re-recording any part.  Warts and all this is my emotion poured out into a quick song inspired by those five little words that lifted my spirit so much yesterday.  As far as experiments go I'm actually chuffed with this, it's a HUGE step forward for me.  It also illustrates how far I still have to go and it is sooooooooooooo quintessentially ME in style - sorry about that!

Part 2

This is getting pretty cool now!  So here is stage 2, I don't know how this happened but this little number is evolving into something pretty cool out of nowhere.

I decided to have some fun with the electric guitar which then suggested new strumming and piano.  I fixed SOME of the timing issues and now I've got a (kind of) verse/chorus structure to work with that's pretty cool - just the solo/bridge to go and an outro.  Question is am I brave enough to begin again on it and get it right or shall I see how far I can get this to completion given the mess I started with?  Hummmmmm?!

Part 3

Last time I'll update this unless I redo the whole thing into a full song.  But I've now changed most of the guitar noodling to electric.  Now no judging I have only played electric for 2 weeks now - well not even played it just picked it up a handful of times.  It's VERY cool and VERY fun though!  This music stuff just gets better and better - hopefully I will too!!!!!
