Music n' Me, 12/15/2008

Things accomplished today:
> Footswitch arrived for the Vox Box. Integrated it into my setup successfully. No-brainer.
> FINALLY solidified the bridge lick for "Picket Line Breaks Down" and figured out how to conclude it after a few stabs in the dark. Jeez, it's only been five months...
> Figured out how awesome the tremolo effect on the Vox Box sounds for the bridge of "Ghosts Dance".
> Wrote, then forgot, all unfinished parts of "Far Beyond Me" [prechorus, bridge]. Now I must relearn them. Arrgh.
> Got "Ghosts Dance" and "Picket Line" somewhat solid with Aaron. Still have to give him all of "Who Are You This Time?" / anything else seemingly pertinent.

Things I'm hoping to do soon:
> Get Nathan caught up on stuff.
> Get Brian into the loop of things [ditto Scott, but that must wait until next week].
> Finish for certain "Weekend Holiday" -- will need trem arm for the Strat, it's being shipped.
> Same with "Certain Signals," though that one's easy.
> Make chord / bar sheets for all the current ongoing songs (That's "Or Don't," "Count Me Out," "Ghosts Dance," "Picket Line," "Far Beyond Me," and "Who Are You This Time" for those of you playing at home).
> DEAR GOD figure out what I'm doing so wrong when singing while playing guitar.
> Decide if / where / how the Big Muff fits into my signal chain.


That's too much in the "to do" column, not nearly enough in the "done" column. Ah well, it's the life.



addendum: I don't remember making that last post on here. 3:38am with my ass six sheets to the wind. The low typo rate makes me think that somehow, when I'm DRANK, I'm still deceptively lucid. Then again... refer to actual post content.
