If asked about my guitar playing, I would say, “Still learning, but getting better”. Guitar is one of those things that I would love to master, but I’m happy being the guy who fiddles with it and keeps trying.
I’m in the middle of finishing an original Christmas song right now. My goal is to unveil my “masterpiece” by the beginning of November. I was originally shooting for end of October, but changes in my day to day routine have move that date.
Honestly, only a few days ago, my answer would’ve been not this year. Why the change? I tried.
I started to work on the guitar tracks again. This time I kept at it instead of giving up on the first few attempts. I was able to finish most of the guitar tracks. My fingers started to hurt, due to lack of playing, so I stopped.
I also started to learn a bit of slide. I had to use a cap from a case from a cheap set of reading glasses, but I did start! I bought a true slide today, doesn’t fit my giant sausage fingers. I’m going to try it tonight and see how I do.
The Hollow Spirit stuff is coming along nicely. I employed my Fiancé and soon to be step daughter to add to the backing vocals. Dean also stepped forward and did a set. Hopefully, I’ll have some of those ready to be released by the end of the month as well.
Thanks for reading!
