Had a bit of a #SaturdayMorningGuitar session this morning, but then an early out-for-breakfast, so have been delving back into related activity this afternoon.
I compile music charts in a way that I prefer for easy reference while playing, and I've been a bit backlogged on songs I wanted to capture that way.
It was a low-energy #SaturdayMorningGuitar this morning, but I persevered and played a bit of my own stuff, plus some older bits like Toto, Joanie, Lightfoot and even some country songs which I don't like but somehow enjoy playing - lol.
With the latter, I noticed while noodling with the intro, that one could probably do a kind of funky Spanish-guitar mashup of "Don't Dream It's Over" and #TheEagles's "Hotel California."
Might need to explore that a bit more. The subject matter kind of works together too.
I occasionally alter the words to his "Put the Message in a Box" to instead say "put the box onto your bike, ride your bike around the world" rather than using the original "car" and "drive." It communicates the song's positive message better for modern times.
A bit of #Stampeders in there, then some eighties, finishing up with #TheBeths. A fifty year span covered.
Almost went back another thirty years earlier because #HoagyCarmichael's 1946 song Buttermilk Sky has been ear-worming me this week, but the only transcription I found was terrible. Will need to figure that one out the old-fashioned way sometime.
Not sure my enthusiasm is in the #SaturdayMorningGuitar this morning, but I should do it to keep up the callouses. Perhaps a good motivation to do something depressing… like country music.
@LillyHerself@SuneAuken My #SaturdayMorningGuitar toots aren't very entertaining, and my playing isn't either :). I see a handful of my connections mention #guitar enthusiasm in their bios, so there should be some chatter in the subject.
I'm not sure how much there is to discuss on the topic though. :-/
OMG there's a new super group, the "Trans-Canada Highwaymen" dropping a cover album of seventies Canadian hits and it amazingly sounds like my #SaturdayMorningGuitar come to life.
Some great tunes in there, by musicians with really good chops. Should be huge among a certain demographic. Ok… me.
