S*** It Out Episode 1

 Each week I'm going to try and over the course of the weekend get a one minute 'song' together starting with drums, then bass and work it up over that.   I warn you they are going to be ROUGH - I'm not practicing, I'm not writing - I'm just getting it down as idea stage then moving on.  Hopefully what this will do is a) getting me thinking more freely b) pushing my recordings eg timing, instrument interaction and c) giving me a bank of ideas I can later tap into.

Here is the first one for your enjoyment (or maybe not!) actually I think is a bit of fun if very very very rough and messy.  Check out the wobble bend near the end haha - I couldn't resist.  I spent a whole 5 minutes on that guitar noodle and you can tell but the idea is to stay very loose.  I will NOT be posting all of these that I do because most will be awful but now and again for your entertainment I will suffer some degree of humiliation.  Some I'll Instagram, some I won't!

I've got the Steven Slate drum plugin now so I've got loads of new drum kits to choose from - YES YES YES I was so sick of the existing ones.

I actually like the bass line on this - I'm proud of that, and my drums are to time yay!

Today is Zak lesson day *double yay* and I'm going to ask to learn a guitar song which is in 'Don't Let The Sun .....' territory, in other words HARD.  But I need it, I've been pushing myself so hard, learn this, learn that etc that I need to do something that will push me, yes, but that at the end I feel really rewarded from.  I know this will do that but I think it's another song that will take months to learn.  We shall see :)
