Mid Week Update

It’s been a busy and frantic week, I’ve covered easy over 1000 miles with day to day work, visiting family and my own life. It’s not been the best week for music as I’ve had a few things to juggle, that said, I have managed to do some drum programming for song ideas and managed to get one drum track finished. It’s not great but it serves it’s purpose as a place holder for real drums. It’s for a song about a prostitue, who is trying to not be a prostitute, it’s coming together quite well. I’ve also been working hard on my guitar sounds, I’m working with my Fender amp to try to fine tune the sound I’m after, I’m playing with valves this weekend if they turn up on time so that should make an interesting blog post next week depending on how it goes.  I also get a guitar back from the workshop after a neck repair and a new nut which is a new style for me called a “Funky Nut” which you can read about here if you want to.

I’m also picking up my gig rig pro foot switch controller this weekend, which hopefully will allow me to make my pedal board a full time setup rather than just picking a few pedals and frantically wiring them up before use each time.

Although this week hasn’t been great for music, with a nice long bank holiday weekend approaching and some new toy – or old toys revived to play with I should be able to make better progress.
