This is the RPM Challenge works in progress playlist.  Things will be updated as I go.  Not much there at this point, but I’m working on it.  Leave me alone!

Obligatory post RPM tracking photo.

I made a little bit of progress on two of the song ideas. One song now has two tracks of rhythm guitar. The other has a full song form. It’s less than three minutes, but it’s kinda groovy. I like it so far. I’ll probably find a way to kill it soon enough.

I’m hoping to make better progress tomorrow, but there is a lot of family time planned. It’s my step son’s 15th birthday. There’s some football game too, but I don’t care about that.

Day two was a little more productive, at least in terms of sketching out initial ideas. Just after writing last night’s update I started working on a riff in 5/8 time. I’ve never used that particular time signature before.

Today I took one of yesterday’s ideas and worked out a song form. I also started working on four new ideas. Two on my Mac, and two on my iPhone.

I’m hoping that tomorrow I will at least be able to work out a couple more song forms and start putting down some rhythm guitars. I am going to use my new Vox MV50 amp’s direct output into my computer. We’ll see how that goes.

I had such big plans for today. Ask me how many of them worked out. Go on, ask me.

None.

I managed to piece together a few bars of bass and drums in 5/4 time. That’s all. Better than nothing, and all progress is good progress, but overall it was a little disappointing. There were incredibly important reasons for my plans falling through, of course, and I wouldn’t have changed a thing. It’s just not as much RPM’in’ as I’d have liked.

Tomorrow is another day.
