I started this day listening to the latest play list, Static, from Fringe Music Fix. I enjoyed it though I found there's a large electronic component these days with drum machines and whatnot instead of a drummer with a kit. I prefer the real sound.I've been checking blues out recently and I'm not sure it's blues guitar I want to learn. I think it's jazz that I want to play actually. That shouldn't be that surprising given my fondness for the trumpet. I'm listening to some Andy Brown on YouTube today and that's more the sound I want to learn.
I have a jazz book for trumpet and I could easily use for guitar by dropping the pitch by one step. I say easily, but it's actually not. I have to transpose it and the fun comes when you have sharps and the like. It's almost like math in a different language. I'm not sure I'm doing it correctly, but I think I have a circle of fifths somewhere around here to help me out. I guess I'm starting that goal of an hour of music theory per week early.
It was actually pretty strenuous on my mind, which is a good thing. I'm doing this while my clothes are in the wash. Changing them over to the dryer will give me that brief break before I come back and test the song out.
And that's how the day flows.
