It's Brick Wall Time & More!

The good news? I'm seeing real potential in that new guitar song.

The bad news? I'm seeing too much potential in that guitar song or to be precise too many potentials & I don't know how to write them.

It's like one song 50 ways and I'm not sure which to take!  Now one thing that's a recurring theme is my ability to over complicate EVERYTHING and I'm feeling that vibe in this song. I'm treating it like a single "intro or verse" to build upon but there is a whole song in that pile of noodling already. I could spend a whole day explaining all the different ways I'm thinking of taking this but I'd melt your brain and bore you to tears at the same time so we'll leave it there and I'll update you when I'm closer to a decision.

I need to get back to working on the electric solo, today is Friday and Monday is going to come around quick and you know how I hate to let Zak down. I'm having good fun with it and am really looking forward to 'hopefully' showing this one to you. So there's plenty of inspiration.

This weekend then is going to be all about soloing, for my song and for Zak, on both electric and acoustic. Good think I like soloing huh!

I thought I'd also compile another list of "underdogs" for you to listen to from a range of sources as it's been a while since I indulged! Some are really small, some a little more established but all of them should be fun to check out. You know me - pay it back, pay it forward - I like to do what I can to help keep music fresh and fun. Look forward to sharing that one with you.

I woke up today in a massive 'crash' state. They're funny things because on the one hand yes it's horrid to go through, the tunnel vision kicks in and I struggle so badly until I've solved the current problem.

But!

On the other it means two things 1) I've recently made big progress because I'm focused on the next goal & 2) When I get through - eventually - my playing will be well into the next jump. It's how I move on, it's not how I'd choose to move on but this is how I work so we'll just have to get used to it and in the meantime I'll do my best to keep my chin up and my posts fun 😊.
