When you think you have a new song arranged okay, then after a couple of playthroughs you decide the chord progressions suck and drag out the pencil to hack away.

In search of the lost chord?

Many Bothans died trying to smuggle that secret chord out of the Empire.

:laugh: :laugh: I know all about the drawing board... ;) I actually love to do so. Working out arrangements or songs is like putting together a puzzle. I don't like puzzles :S :P, but musically I do. Especially when i find a way to put it all together, that's like EUREKA!! :woohoo:

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Ness. I want to share this song here but I have some standards and recording something that is half baked won't do. My skills are not yet to the point I can arrange material and have it performance worthy in just a few days. I also feel strongly about discussing the process as I go. That, as I see it, is the foundation of groups like this. As my father is fond of saying about church (this is not a religious statement, rather a metaphor): you learn and grow in a hospital for sinners, not in a club for saints. :side:

:laugh: :laugh: I like your father's metaphor!

I would agree, discussing the process while you go is something that i've been encouraging to TG-members. I'd rather see where someone's at, when learning and practicing a song, instead of reviewing the 'final' take or result. It's easier to fine tune, then to re/un-learn something which you have been practicing.

Good luck with the song! :)
