The day 21 update is identical to the day 20 update. I mixed one song (six down, 44 to go) and I started a new song with a full song form and MIDI bass and drums complete.
It should be noted that there is still a full week left in a three month challenge and I have 25 songs ideas in the pipeline which means I am halfway there. Sort of. Not really, but sort of.
Are we sick of these new song posts yet? A little, maybe.
I was afraid I was going to get shut out on day 20 (yesterday) but I managed to get some work done with the little time available.
I mixed one song (five down, 45 to go) and started one new song. After reading about John Mayall’s passing I had to come up with a 12-bar blues. It was a moral imperative.
Today looks to be another light progress day as well. Hope for a little something, but won’t be surprised if I never have time.
New song alert. I almost like this one. Almost.
Day 19 had a good start and then it fizzled out. I put lead guitars onto three songs before work in the morning. That’s it. I never had a chance for anything more. I wanted to work on things but was not able to make the time.
Day 20 is already looking like it’s going to be a no-progress day. I’m working in the office today and I have things going on after work. We’ll see if I can sneak something in.
It’s always a good morning when you play the guitar before work.
Three more 50/90 challenge songs have lead guitars down and are now ready to be mixed and put into the finished songs bucket. Good morning, indeed.
Day 18 was a pretty good day.
I had three “songs” that were just a collection of 3-4 little bass riffs. I started the day by turning each of those little collections into a full song form. Once that was done I had four songs forms that were ready for rhythm guitar tracks. I put the rhythm guitar tracks onto all four songs. After that I was feeling like I was in a bit of a guitar playing groove. I didn’t have any rhythm tracks left to do so I started recording leads. I added them to two songs before my finger tips were done for a while. I had other things to do as well so it was a good time to take a break. Instead I ended up mixing two songs. After that I went on to other non-musical stuff.
Like I said, it was a pretty good day. It would have been better if I could have written a new lyric or two, but I am not complaining at all.
Another new song has been mixed and unleashed on the unsuspecting public.
It’s meh.
I don’t plan on posting every song I come up with for this year’s 50 songs in 90 days thing, but having said that… I might.
I mixed another song. The 50 Songs in 90 Days Challenge count is up to three now. Three songs finished and only 47 more to go. WOOHOO!
I screwed up my morning routine one day and it became a cheesy song. Enjoy my goofiness!
I think today’s band practice is going to be cancelled. I think we need to start planning on a different day and time.
In place of band practice I have done a ton of work on 50/90. Well… maybe not a ton, but a really good morning’s worth. I have added tracks to six songs. There might be time for more too. We’ll have to see.
Additional good news. Whatever was wrong with my stomach yesterday has cleared up. I knew it would, it just took most of the day. Here’s hoping it doesn’t come back for a while. A long while.
For now though, here are the obligatory guitar pics from this morning’s goofiness.
