To guitar or not to guitar...

I spent the better part of today freezing in my basement while playing guitar. It's been a while since I really had a nice moment with my favourite instrument. I used to play 5-6 hours a day back when I was in my teens. Now I'm lucky if I can put in a solid hour or 2 in a week. I took adavantage of the time I had today and managed to record myself over a synth chord progression I whipped up. My chops aren't as good as they used to be so mistakes were plentiful. I recorded myself regardless and totally captured the mood I was in. Realized it didn't matter that my playing is a little rough these days. I'm still able to express myself through playing guitar and that means so much to me.

Feel free to listen to my recording. I call it Behind The Eyes.

  1. Very cool. Rock-n-Roll with this eerie vibe. I could see it used in an introspective part of a movie or something.

    Love your blog, by the way. It's so quick and easy to read every couple days, I love it. Always interesting and you capture all these great little parts of your life. :)
