Lucky Seven - Another 'Song'

Update!

Lucky Seven has been reworked and now exists as one of my first YouTube videos now titled Appetence For Tomorrow.  Click here to go to the blog post about how it all happened.

A Work In Progress!

Yesterday I woke up early - not sleeping again - and started playing the guitar as you do first thing in the morning.  I came up with some really cool chords (so easily pleased) and let hubby have a few more hours kip before I barged in and as he scrunched up his sleepy face I said "hey how cool is this".  Bless him he's not even awake but he listened and an idea was born.

A couple of hours later the intro and basic verse were done but I had no idea what I was going to do for a chorus - not even the chords, nothing!  I texted my teacher in a panic because I didn't know where to start looking for ideas as I'd used all 7 chords and bless him he got back with some advice which really helped and ta da.   

Well - no - not really that simple.  Another of my mishmash hack jobs followed and so I need to re-record every track especially that last 8 bar "piano solo"!  So expect this to sound very messy but remember I promised you warts and all.

I NEED to push forward on technique again so that I can start to explore other music styles.  Right now I'm playing to my 'strengths' and I want to start moving outside of that and add more strings to my bow.

My best yet but so so far to go!

    One fateful day I decided to get guitar lessons.  5 years later I'm learning four instruments and trying to become a musician and songwriter.  I've set a five year goal (Aug 2021) to create a very special song for my 25th wedding anniversary and this is a record of my crazy journey, weird thoughts, strange doodles and unapologetic music obsession!  Enjoy!
