The Start Of The New Song

This one's going to take a long time to write but I think it will be worth the effort from a learning point of view. I'm trying to think over the fretboard so looking at different voicings for the same chord and thinking mainly arpeggios for the melody.  Because I'm working with 7 and 9 chords it gives me a few cool note choices to work with.  I'm also thinking about rhythm and trying to push myself technically which will involve writing something then building, pushing and reworking a lot.  I'm trying to work in repetition as well to balance the song and not go off on one of my random melody rampages and all this before I even think about how I'll bring in other instruments.  Not to mention the slide challenge EEK!

I've not even picked the timing or anything yet I'm still noodling out the initial ideas. That said so far so good, I like the concept and it's definitely different to anything that I've done before. So here is a quick vid of me (right way up!) playing what I have so far. I know I'm illusive but trust me I'm the least photogenic person ever!! You're not missing anything. Don't hold your breath for the finished product but I'll get there!

Looking forward to working in some slide on this one! 😉
