It seems looking at some recent threads in this forum that we have at least a few musicians. Well, I’m bored on a Saturday night and have been practicing my guitar and thought I’d start a thread. I’ve always got a few different things going on. Recently, especially with COVID, I’ve been working on my solo acoustic stuff. Acoustic has never been my primary instrument and I’ve never had a ton of confidence in my singing so I tend to go for unusual song choices. Right now I’m working on three new cover songs, all solo acoustic (though I do utilize a looper). I’m polishing my version of Bohemian Rhapsody. I transposed it down a minor third (and also downtune to Eb) to get it remotely singable for me. I’m also working on Sweet Child O Mine. Playing that guitar solo on an acoustic is a challenge. Finally I’m just starting on Charlie Parker’s Donna Lee. I play a few jazz tunes but this would be the most ambitious to date if I can get it up to snuff. I also am always writing. But right now I just have a lot of parts but nothing really coalescing into a full song. If I liked writing lyrics more that might help. One of my sons likes writing lyrics so I’ve been helping him add music to them, if that counts.
So I know there are others here that play various instruments. Are you in bands? What’s your practice routine like? What are you working on? Do you write original music? It’s definitely my main creative outlet so I’d love to talk here more about it.
