Well, it finally happened... I can honestly say that, if I had reached this point in guitar playing at, say, 20 years old, I'd probably eventually become an amazing guitarist. Hmph. Yeah, little too late but what can you do. I am pretty pleased with my progress over the past 2 years, most of which is partly due to my working on the "I Miss You Most..." album.
Speaking of which, I believe that I just put the finishing touches on my changes for "Some Kind of a Man", which provided I still feel this way in a couple of days, it means I can finally get it mastered and then have the CD's printed. It's taken an incredibly long time and I feel quite bad about that. I have been feeling fairly lousy, though, for the past 2-3 months and so trying to get any motivation at all has been few and far between, especially on something that I thought I had officially closed the book on back in October.
On the plus side, I pulled out my Breedlove Celtic this afternoon which has an alternate tuning on it and I think I may have come up with a part for the new Jazz Machine album. I want something pretty different and rather triumphant for the opening track, one of the few slots that I didn't previously have any jams or ideas for, and I may have stumbled upon something rather interesting. I guess we'll have to see how I feel about it after I listen to my demo a few times. I also went through my other more recent demos on my handheld recorder and was quite impressed. I think it was also the very first time I've ever heard myself playing completely off the cuff and I didn't even recognize that it was me that was playing. Yes, progress.
That's all the news for now. Provided things go well, there's a possibility that the CD's could be printed by the end of the month. One can only hope...
