Brain frying basement session tonight. Putting down the first few intro verses of keyboard tracks on my new song. I’m not a very proficient keyboardist, so doing these chord progressions is a wee bit of a challenge. Especially when I’m syncing vocal timing, with some variable vocal improv of course to make it more of a nightmare. Plus I’ve capo’d to the 4th fret on guitar, I know zero music theory and there’s a whack of black and white keys in these keyboard progressions. The only saving grace is that I can play any chord on the keyboard that I hear on guitar, so basically I’m going completely on the fly by ear with limited keyboard skills. So it’s very slow going to get it right when my fingers are trying to jump around on all these keys. And then there’s the tempo change in this song. Musical masochist to the max.
