2024 50/90 Challenge Day 35/90

Day 35 was exactly the same as day 34, which was exactly the same as day 33.

Two new songs. Song form, MIDI bass and drums. The total count is up to 37.

Day 36 (today) might end up as a zero progress day because we have the first band practice in ages scheduled for tonight and I have some music to learn before hand. Wish me luck.

2024 50/90 Challenge Day 34/90

Day 34 is the same as day 33. Two new songs. MIDI bass and drums are done. That’s it. We’re up to 35 songs in the pipeline now. I’m going to need to start recording guitars and writing lyrics soon. I need to get some momentum going again and I need to do it soon.

2024 50/90 Challenge Day 33/90

Not a lot happened on day 33, but what I got to was okay.

Two new songs. The pipeline is up to 33 now. Both newbies have MIDI Bass and drums. They were both noodled out starting with bass lines. I have a sneaking suspicion that one of them is going to end up being too difficult to play on the guitar. We’ll see.

2024 50/90 Challenge Day 32/90

Day 32 (yesterday) was a good day.

It started with adding vocal tracks to five songs. Next I came up with MIDI bass and drums and the song form for three songs. Next, two of those new song forms and one additional song got rhythm guitars. Finally, one of the morning’s vocals got lead guitars.

Today (day 33) is an office day for me so the time is going to be short. I’ll do what I can and see what happens.

Play

Did I play any guitar today? Why yes, yes I did. rhythm guitars on three songs and lead on one. I played my number one, my Les Paul Custom. It went well. I am hoping I have a little more playing in me for later this afternoon. Here’s hoping.

Car Music: Complete

I was much later getting started than I like to be but I did pull off a car music this morning. I put vocals on five songs. I now have songs that are ready for some guitar tracks. Maybe we’ll pick some of those off today too. This might be a good day, I think.

Pictures… not iPhone, but Z5. I took my camera with me. Two days in a row I took it outside. Nice.

2024 50/90 Challenge Day 31/90

Lyrics. Lots of lyrics. Melodies too. Five songs in total. Enough to justify a car music trip to start day 32… assuming I can get my shit together here. I overslept a little and I have a few things to do before I sing in the car.

Get to it, Robert.

Car Music Tomorrow

I didn’t play guitar today, but I did set myself up for a nice vocal session in the car tomorrow morning. Assuming I don’t massively oversleep, which is starting to seem more and more likely.

Car music, kids! Let’s do this! After I sleep, of course. I’m totally exhausted.

2024 50/90 Challenge Day 30/90

Day 30 wasn’t terribly active but I wasn’t shut out. I added one new song idea. Just a couple of bass riffs.

That’s it.

The weekend is here now, so hopefully I’ll have more to report for the next couple of days.

2024 50/90 Challenge Day 29/90

Hello and welcome to August, month number two.

Not a lot of progress on day 29, but I thought I was going to get shut out. I was already thinking of how to write the “I did nothing” post. Instead, I stayed up a little late and added two new songs. They have full song forms and MIDI bass and drums. There are now 30 songs in the 50/90 pipeline. I also woke up this morning (day 30) feeling kinda sick and one of my ears is completely blocked. Oh good.
