Song: It Don't Matter To Me
Group: Bread
Although I was thinking about doing some more work on my outdoor projects...
after eating lunch...
I decided that I would dedicate today to music.
I brought out all my instruments
(I have yet to unpack the keyboard.
I will work on the keyboard second to last even though it will be used extensively
throughout the song. The bass flute will be recorded last for a special reason).
I am going to experiment using my 6 string Bass
with a classic guitar tuning in place of the classical guitar...
(or as an adjunct to it).
The one octave difference should add a more dramatic flair
to the cover song I am working on.
However...
it may not...
I will have to see.
In between sessions with the bass guitar...
I will throw in practice with the 12 string guitar...
as my left hand still needs conditioning to hold the chords
for long enough to practice the song with enough repetition
(my left hand still cramps after a short while).
I may also use the electric guitar...
but I will have to experiment with it in the song first.
My bass flute is resting on the keyboard.
The bass flute will have the most complicated passages...
but I will mostly be improvising with it in a free flowing manner...
contrasting and reflecting off the other instruments...
and so...
I shall record it on the last track.
And...
don't worry...
the song will be purely instrumental...
I won't be singing at all :)
---------------
I am thinking of taking Bandi to Colorado Springs tomorrow morning.
There is a bike trail (one of many)...
that I wish to try.
It is supposed to have many beautiful views of Pikes Peak...
and of nearby rock formations.
Although...
it may be in the afternoon...
I will have to see.
Once I get started on music...
I sometimes lose track of time and end up
working at it late into the night.
Again...
this is a long term project.
I have much practice and arranging to do before it will be
anywhere near completion.
You did not mention which song you were going to cover. I haven’t heard bread in a long time. Thank you for including music on your blog. It adds a lot. Btw … your voice is surprisingly good. Your musical journey has really been interesting to observe. It inspires me to sing more frequently and free from inhibition. It adds greatly to my enjoyment of life.
ReplyDeleteThank you, but, my voice is the most difficult for me to control. It is the most difficult instrument I have ever tried. I have since told you via message, but I want it to be a surprise when I put it on my blogs and vlog.
