Blues and all that

The objective is to record one song, every month. By the end of 2011, i should have enough for an album. Here's January :

Beaney Blues Town by Ga-Joob


The piano in this song annoys me, sort of. The bass seems to come through more naturally.
I've always felt like a guitarist trapped in a pianist's body. But then again, it's more about through which instrument the song was born. In this case, the bass. Framing bass lines to the disorganised, unstructured vague songs that i write on the piano could be challenging to me...have'nt tried that yet. For the moment, it's mainly lots of practice on the bass...occasionally a little tune creeps in...

Tiny riff, fleeting jingle
Would you like to mingle?
Serenade my mind
Till I'm lost inside
This loop to find that 'hit' single.

Sambadikeelim!

I want this to carry on. Maybe even join a band on bass.

Bassically


'Jordy'

New obsession
New gear resolution
New love
New ear
New "knew i've always wanted to"

Ibanez SR 300...the reason why i trudged through december frugally.

Worth it.
