AlbumAbout
I managed to get through ten all new songs this year, but it was a struggle. My guitar skills are still pretty sub-par so I struggle to come up with ideas sometimes and then remember how to play them later. Also lyrical ideas came in at a trickle this year. The last four or five songs all came in a rush just a couple of days before the finish line. I will say that things I initially thought I hated and kept because I was running out of time are what I'm looking back on most fondly in the immediate afterglow of completing everything. As in previous years I reordered everything in my home studio, playing and singing all the parts as a one man band. No small feat considering at best I'd consider myself a drummer first, and a terrible singer!
Favourite Moment
The moment when a flurry of lyrics came late in the process and I realized I might actually complete the challenge
Advice
Make better notes of the guitar tunings, chords, and chord voicing I'm using for each song so I can maybe save a little of the time I spent having to constantly re-learn everything by ear
