Impro Noodles!

Yesterday I was talking about my impro so today I thought I'd put up three audio tracks, one guitar, one piano and one drums. When you hear my songs I often have to hold back because I'm trying to fit my limited skills together but when I'm playing over another track it's just the one instrument I have to worry about. It's still hard as I'm still a beginner on drums and piano and not a confident intermediate on guitar but it does give me a bit more room. I'd say to shine but...! Not yet hey 😬

The funniest and silliest is the drums, I do a wicked Animal impression at one point - you'll know it when you hear it! The best improvement or at least the biggest one is on the piano (I start playing after the intro), it's all very random but it's a long way from where I was. The nicest is probably the guitar. I wonder if you can tell when I was "in the zone"?! Hint listen for that slight hesitation before I play, when I'm really happy playing it disappears, it's subtle but you can hear it.

A bit of background, the backing tracks are all from YouTube a cool account called Drumless Backing Tracks (Drum Drum Drum). I messed around over the guitar one twice then clicked record the audio recording is the result so I really didn't know the tune. The drumming one is practised over maybe 5 times, that is actually the best I'd played over it so I'm glad I hit record! Hopefully you'll notice my timing is improving a little! The piano is a track I've practised over lots, because it's all about following the chords, moving over the keyboard and using inversions, adding in sus chords and melody I wanted to stick to something that would allow me to push without worrying about the tune. It's also the least connected to the actual track. My rhythm I think is getting better though. You be the judge!!

Hope you enjoy at least one! If you're only going to check out one try the guitar it's the nicest 😊🎸

Drums - they are pretty boring but.... wait... give it time and you'll see the fun :)   Today was lesson day so I'm up silly hours as usual (remember wired, tired & out of time - see!!).  But I had the best time today, Tom is a wonderful guy, as complicated in his way as I am in mine.  There is no middle ground it's just hectic and so MUCH fun!!  He said one thing today and he has no idea what it meant to me, if it's true which I hope it is!   He said he'd played the CD I gave him in his car, I don't care why, just that he did wow, even just because!  I'm a simple girl, a complicated simple girl (hows that for an oxymoron!).    But I told you the smallest things make me so happy, that he listened, that he wanted to in fact for any reason.   WOW!  Big smile face!  Life has so much sadness in it, take joy where you can, that's my advice!
