New Toy - Time To Learn!

Here you go my new drum kit and I've been having lots of fun on it I can tell you!

Things are going to get exciting, complicated and not just a tiny bit terrifying from here on out as Tom said once I got the kit we were going to push forward in drums and bass. Being pretty much self taught removed any sense of guilt and obligation, if it was rubbish didn't matter because it's all self taught but now.... now I'll be accountable. I'll also be learning though and pushing on in my songwriting and that's what I want. So all in all I'm both excited and relieved but I am terrified too 😆.

Wednesday is going to be F U N!!! I've got to play the Elton John song to Tom which I'm so nervous about. We've got my new song to work on which I'm very excited about and we've got the new drum kit to play with. I should imagine it might be a while to get into the new instruments but at least it's now in my imminent future!

However before Wednesday comes Monday (yeah I know duh right!) and that's guitar lesson with Zak yay! I love both lessons they are so different from each other, one is more adventurous and the other gives me more confidence. They're both so much fun though and I'm loving guitar so much at the moment especially now we've added electric too. My heart is in acoustic but I'm starting to find my voice and uncover the potential in the electric and that's so exciting. I'm so glad Zak pushed there and look forward to learning how to play the way I dream of (or as close to it!).

But for now back to learning. I've got lots of practice to be getting on with and that first solo needs work on the song as does the intro, and the verse 'complimentary' instrument which I'm still unsure about.

Have a great weekend and I'll 'see' you for tomorrow's post. It won't be as exciting as the last couple of days though 😆.

    What's This About?

    One fateful day I decided to get guitar lessons.  6 years later I'm learning four instruments and trying to become a musician and songwriter.  I 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!
