To Become A Musician

Weather The Storm - Full Draft

28/3/2017

This is the full draft of the song in it's bare bones state with the bridge and outro.  

A few things that are under debate at the moment.

1)  Verse 2 is currently 8 bars I'm probably going to make it 12.  Should verse 1 be 12 or 16 bars?  Humm!!
2) The intro is still under debate as to whether to add another bar or two to build up speed.
3) The outro definitely needs work at the moment it's just me noodling but it won't change much.
4) The transitions between sections need working on and the melody variations as the verse progresses need lots of work too.
5)  There are other possibilities within the bridge, structurally I love it but the actual melody and rhythmic side has other ways it might work, I'll be experimenting to see what really sticks.

But other than that at least you have the idea now of where this is going :)  I don't know if anyone else likes it so there is always that roof top to fall off of but I do.  Long term I have no idea where this is going yet or what other instruments or parts I'll be adding in, when, where or how so an adventure ahead for sure.  I think it could be really good though.

Lesson day with Zak was moved to today so I have that to look forward to and a few more hours practice on the solo to compensate for nerves haha!  And generally speaking I now have 6 songs I'm working on and I'm really determined to see all of these finished so I'll need to really concentrate and make sure each one moves forward.  They are certainly an eclectic bunch that's for sure but that's a good thing right?

I`m conscious that I need to get more dedicated practice time in as well as I haven`t been doing as much of that lately.  I am doing some of course but I need to be a little more disciplined so that my writing will eventually get better technically too.  I think all in all I took a baby step forward with this project in terms of song structure but until I get feedback I won`t really know for sure or how much of a step it was.

Back to work then, I really do have a lot to do on those songs and they`re all important to me now. :)

    What's This About?

    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!
