And Now For Something Completely Different... I Wish

I have started work on another musical project, there is a problem though... I think a double bass would sound better than my electric bass. Now I have a reason to buy a double bass which I have been wanting for slightly longer than this blog has existed.
so...
£380 - Deamond M75-T
£249.59 Stagg Rocket 3/4 size double bass
£74.25 Electric violin (doesn't seem to have a proper name)

On the upside at least i have something to look forward to.

Anyway my new musical project is simply to create a horror-punk song out of the 12 bar blues.

Musical Madness

I have had a day of song writing, so I'm happy. Basically I helped Dana write her song for music, by that I mean I asked her for a chord pattern then played it on guitar. I did come up with random ideas for my own songs which I may create sometime.
The main thing on the agenda in this blog post is a song by Burzum this song in fact:
Anyway I have decided to shorten the song so there is less in the way of time spent listening to the song and sing it in English (none of the lyrics are wasted just musical interludes are). The song is currently tabbed, so I will sing my version along to the tab and record that (I'm missing some technology that would allow me to record a better version of the song, at the moment anyway).

keep Living

As the fairly random sounding title suggests, well it doesn't really suggest it but that isn't the usual thing I'd write for a title, anyway, I have wrote a new song called "Keep Living" and I am currently tabbing and hopefully perfecting it on Guitar Pro 6. Hopefully soon there will be a video uploaded so you can finally listen to a song which I wrote.

Acoustic Guitar?

I feel as though I should get an acoustic guitar so I can attempt to write songs easier, saves me untangling my jack (which I have now broke). An acoustic would make it easier for me to quickly get an idea out into song form. All the ideas I have came up with seem to leave my head before I can get my guitar plugged in.
Well if I decide to get an acoustic guitar it will just add to my expenses. right now im saving the £380 for the Dearmond M75-T, the another £75 on an electric violin (because my acoustic violin isn't full sized... and electric violins are cooler), I may add another £250 onto that for a BC Rich Virgo bass guitar, and now the acoustic guitar. I think I'll leave it after the violin.

Need's Some Hot Sauce

Well I metaphorically need some hot sauce to spice up my life. My classmate Elliot however, thought it was best to give me some sauce which he believed was insanely hot, so I had some, wasn't hot enough for me at all. It was almost tingling in my mouth  that's it. This was most likely because I'm used to the food my dad makes which is usually doubly spicy.
Either I've decided that my life is actually a little boring despite the fact I enjoy it. This is why I rarely have anything to write about, I mean today's highlight was falling asleep at Dana's house, while listening to Dark Passion Play (Nightwish). It turns out I was just warm and comfortable.
Very Interesting day.... Hopefully we will actually do something with that band. My mate Matthew McLean is thinking about doing a black metal solo project, now that would be cool, if I still lived in Birmingham I'd join him. So now all I have to do is wait.

Improvisation Is The Future

OK well I'm back in school tomorrow, which is neither good or bad. Now my plan was to record a song during my music lesson for my GCSE the way I shall do that is by making up a riff/chord pattern now and tomorrow I'll make up the lyrics as I go along. This could be fun, especially since I'll put that forward to my teacher using it to get my music GCSE, I can't wait.
