Guitar Journal Update, week 9: Improv guitar solo over a Emin progression (E min, E min 7, A min 7, G Maj 7, Bmin/F#). This is a complete transparent improv, many mistakes, but there were a few shinning moments that sound great!
Goal: Follow through on a chord progression that I created by recording the guitar, bass, and drums backing track. Figuring out how to midi drums was a side mission. Then create a guitar solo over that using all my chops to create a snapshot of my journey(warts and all). Moreover, my intent is to create a completely transparent representation of my playing for the record. Lastly, try to edit video with multiple cameras to make it more cinematic and enjoyable to watch for not only the sound and performance but the editing aspect as well!
Priority: create weekly content over perfected content
Reflection: Proud of progress, and there were a few licks that I'm definitely going to store for the future. The double stop and triad rhythm sections, which are noted in video.
Time committed:
Record backing tracks for drums, guitar and bass, and figure out midi drum setup: 120 mins
Record solo section after a warmup attempt: 35 mins
Mix, master and edit: 80 mins
