Practice 1 down. Many to go

I had my first jam/practice with two new musicians on Thursday. I had a really good time. We worked on some stuff I had already written and they both really got what I was trying to play and put their own parts in. The tracks sounded so much better with a good drums and bass player, even that first play through was much more organic and rich sound, much fuller. We also worked through some tracks I’d started but hit a bit of a block on, on we turned around the bare bones in about 30 minutes, which considering I’d been stuck for about a month on it, was fantastic. We recorded the practice on the drummers iphone so we didn’t forget what we’d worked on.  Yes, ok, I’m getting a little excited over one practice but it went so well, and with really talanted musicians and nice guys too I’m very much looking forward to our next run through, which won’t be a for a few weeks due to an absent member for a holiday. While I’m waiting I best get on with trying to put some more structure into the tracks we’ve worked on and work a little harder on the tracks we’ve not yet worked on.

I doubt they will read this, but my two new musician’s are Martyn (drums) and Brandon (bass) and I really had a good time and feel inspired again after playing with two quality musicians.
