Brandon came over today around 9am, we talked for a few minutes, he picked up the acoustic guitar and strummed through a few ideas, and we had our song structure within 20 minutes. We outlined a few things on paper such as: which instruments might work well for this song idea, the chord progressions for the 4 different parts, and the order of the song (i.e. verse, chorus, bridge, etc). We both agreed that this song worked as an instrumental, so we didn't scramble to create lyrics and melodies. Brandon recorded the acoustic guitar, the bass guitar and a keyboard to create the foundation for the song...I played Producer. Then, I added the piano, the distorted guitar and harmonica while he played Producer. Brandon finished it off with drums (mallets on toms!) and an acoustic picking part. This song is in 3/4 time...like a waltz, and it uses 4-5 standard chords (but each played in a non-standard way). We finished our final mix around 5pm and considered it a successful day.
