Bulk Challenge Update

I've got so much going on now it's hard to keep track let alone keep on top but this blog is a good way to make sure I stay focused because when I've said I'm going to do something - I do it.

So rather than bore you to bits with tiny updates on each thing I'm doing here is a very quick post on several at once.

Blues Song

I've been playing a collection of blues songs and recording the "rough" drum beats and fills so I have a library that I can use to pick one.  I want to try and do that by close of today because I need to start practicing bass over the top.  It's going to be poor but it will give me a guide then when I have all components worked out I can go and re-record them properly.  At least that's the idea at the moment - as I hit walls my ideas often change and evolve.,

Update:  The full drums, intro, verse, chorus, solo & outro (all be it very rough!) are down - see the power of committing really works!  They're simple but I've put a few "playful" areas in there to give me room to do something a biy fun.

Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me

I knew I bit off more than I could chew with this one but it's been really tough.  Anyway about 7 hours total practice in now (I've been adding bits in small chunks, bar by bar).  The timing & dynamics are a "bit" better now but I'll worry about getting it right once I've got the full song learned.

New Guitar Song

I was just sitting there getting lost in whatever came out of my head on guitar and I just started playing this.  It's not original, it's not new and it's not amazing - YET but it was so sweet and I think I'd really like to see where I can take it especially as it lends itself to playing with sus's and 7ths so I've set myself another challenge (another long term one) to build this into a full song.  I know if I don't say I'll do something with it on here it will end up in my memo "ideas graveyard".  So let's see if I can.

Dig Deep Evolves

This is a song concept I've put in a preivous post, I'm now working on spreading out the concept into a song format and am happy with where it's going.  This one has a long long way to go so don't expect a finished result but I WILL turn this into a full song by the end.  Here is the start of it in evolved format, using the first two sections spread out as a verse structure.
