2024 50/90 Challenge idea number 19 becomes finished song number 10. 10 down, 40 to go. 20% of the way there! My first toe-dip into a swing groove. Just a little. I like this one. It could maybe go for being a smidge faster though…

2024 50/90 Challenge idea number 18 becomes finished song number nine. Slow enough to pass for a funeral march. Not sure I like that anymore. I am happy with the lead guitars for the first time this summer. I think I was feeling it a little…

2024 50/90 Challenge song idea number 14 becomes finished song number eight. Now that it's done I don't think I like it as much as I did while I was tracking it it. Unusual for me, the part that works best for me is actually the vocal melody…

2024 50/90 Challenge idea number 17 becomes finished song number seven. I don't know what to think about this one. The leads at the end are really sloppy. It must have been the last song I worked on that day and my fingers weren't responding…

2024 50/90 Challenge idea number 10 becomes finished song number four. I kinda like the verse. I don't like the mix. The hook is kinda meh. I like the random key changes. I should have done more with the dynamics in the outro. I dropped…

2024 50/90 Challenge song idea number one becomes finished song number three. Only 47 more to go! My morning routine got messed up and it became a song. Fascinating source of inspiration, eh? I like the chorus in this one. Well, I like…

2024 50/90 Challenge song idea number 12 becomes finished song number two. Two down, 48 to go. So far this is the only song that was written on guitar. Everything else started out with a MIDI bass part and was built up from there. Sometimes…
