Initially I wasn't sure about…

Rewind to Summer 2019... I put the bones of this song together in the UK; the lyric reflects the absolute positivity I was feeling at the time (lots of diverse work, travel, great weather, BBQs in the garden) etc.
The melody was lifted from…

I appear to have lightened the mood a little with this one... If this song wore a hat it would be tipped at a jaunty angle... This one came together relatively quickly - The chorus was based on two bass riffs I had rattling around my head. I like…

I wanted to go down a different path with this one and try a new vibe altogether; no guitars at all and the bass guitar (my new Fender Mustang) only appears at the end of the song

Light, Jazzy and a bit prog in places... I had the season of summer in my mind when I did this one

So my lovely wife bought me a guitar this week... I started by learning some basic and easy chord shapes and this song came together. It's the first one I've done where everything is played by me.
