More Guitar

I spent some more time this afternoon playing guitar. Just adding parts to some 50/90 Challenge songs, that’s all.

My finger tips hurt. Maybe I’ll have calluses again by the time the 50/90 challenge ends in October. That would be nice.

Laugh at the nerd!

Another Day, Another G.A.S. Attack

Yesterday I mentioned that watching a YouTube video lead me to want to buy a Gibson Firebird.

That was yesterday. Today a YouTube video is leading me to want to buy another Gibson Les Paul.

Gear Acquisition Syndrome (G.A.S.) is a bitch, people. It’s a serious problem.

Rhythm Guitars

I said I was hoping to get a little more than just MIDI tracking done for 50/90 today.

Four songs worth of rhythm guitars are done. Hopefully that’s more like four songs and counting for today, but we’ll see. My finger tips are hurting a little.

2024 50/90 Challenge Day 3/90

Day three’s update is identical to day two’s. Three new song ideas. All have MIDI bass and drums and a complete song form. That leaves me with eight songs in the pipeline, all in the same completeness bucket.

I am hoping there will be something more involved in tomorrow’s update. We’ll see. Maybe some guitar tracking?

Haiku for You #197

My city’s 4th of July fireworks show was supposed to happen tonight, even though the 4th of July was two days ago. It was cancelled due to the weather forecast which apparently turned out to be dead wrong. This installment of Haiku for You is brought to you by whichever of our neighbors it is who is lighting off fireworks in their yard at 9:45pm.

Why do I still hear,
These neighborhood fireworks?
The 4th is over!

Gibson Firebird

That Pedal Show on YouTube released a new episode yesterday and it is about 90 minutes exclusively on the Gibson Firebird.

I haven’t quite watched all of it yet, but I’m down to the last few minutes.

Seriously… for the good of society (as well as my bank account) please… whatever you do… don’t let me go near a music store for a few days at least. If I walk into a Guitar Center (or something similar) I am absolutely not going to be able to stop myself and I am 100% walking out of that store with a Firebird.

For the love of all that is good in this universe, don’t let me go into a music store.

Free Stuff

I went to the sugar free bakery in Salem, NH today. I am in a phase when I go there once a week on my way to the grocery store.

Today… they gave me free stuff. Not anything that I would ever eat, but still… free stuff.

What does it mean? Did they give free stuff to everyone or am I just suddenly a VIP customer?

I hope they gave free stuff to everyone because I don’t think I want to be a bakery’s VIP customer.

Clean

The refrigerator is clean! I say again, the refrigerator is clean!

It was not on our to do list for today at all, but we did it anyway. All of the shelves and drawers have been washed and dried and put back in place. We can actually see through the glass again! Hooray!
