Been silent here for a while, working on a bunch of new songs. I was working with a band. But as bands go, two of the guys are moving, one to LA and one to Florida. So I am looking again. But did get a lot of practice time in and writing both. My playing is coming around.
Finally finished and framed this new drawing of Colton. It is pencil and charcoal on cover stock. Always feels good to finish a project. Let me know what you think.
Buzz is wide awake on drums for an early morning jam. I am working the Fender Telecaster. The first section is a bluesy rock groove with a Bill Lawrence single coil which gives that throaty sound. The second part is more of my signature sound with a double coil pickup. Audio sketch #2 means unrehearsed, a little rough but liked the feel. Hope to put them into song forms.
Just a snippit from a first jam. Ethon has a great drum setup with double bass, hi hats on either side so he can play with either hand. Good times. I brought the telecaster to the party.
The sketchpad is where I put down ideas. So this is the new music sketchpad, a way to try out new music. Maybe they become songs maybe not. Feel good enough to record the ideas.
And it is my first acoustic effort here. The guitar is my Martin D-15. Check it out.
Yes, I’m working with my tele today. First idea uses the bridge pickup, a Dimarzio. The second part starts with a riff using the neck pickup a Bill Lawrence single coil. Bouncy. Singing mostly for the rhythm of it. Bzzz is using some electronic pads just for the ease of it. Not to mention the quick change of drum sounds.
