The Story Of An Unlikely Dream
To Become A Musician
I'm recording again but still have a long way to go on this one so I thought I'd share a sneak peak of the start with you. The bass has already changed 3 times so this may all be very very different by the end but I like the concept so far.
I have no idea where I'm going for the chorus yet except big, maybe I'll try and have some electric fun again who knows. At the moment I'm trying to focus on keeping it simple and then building it up where I can and where it feels right. This one started with a bit of a guitar strum which led to working out drums that would go with it - they didn't as usual! So I adjusted the strumming several times until something felt right then recorded the drums and redid the guitar rhythm then laid down the melody over the top. Very very simple at first then looked for areas I could add just a tiny bit more interest. Like I said a long way to go yet. My timing is improving and I think my drums and strumming are too but boy do I have a LONG way to go. So today will be some good hard practice (and getting the kids ready to go back to school to of course!). How's this for dedicated/obsessed/committed (fill in the blank)! I haven't slept in weeks and last night I finally got what for me is a great night sleep, 7 hours with only a few wakes in the night but because my body got a taste I'm now feeling really shattered although less horrid. If you've ever been sleep deprived you'll know what I mean by that. Anyway I wake up and the first thing I think ..... "OMG I have to re-record the bass on that new song" - 2 hours later I've finally got my first cup of coffee and I have done a little housework so I don't have to feel too guilty!! I'm a strange woman :) Have a good day!

Learning Time LogHow long I've been learning as at at the end of Mar 2021.
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!
