Next year I'm going to do it on my own with just the acoustic guitar that I'm learning to play this year.
(1)
I'll have total freedom over the product, as opposed to trying to build
songs around other people's guitar samples - so my cd will reflect
what's going on inside me, as opposed to a 'best I could do' effort.
And I'll be able to concentrate on my vocals and song-writing as
opposed to spending all my time trying to come with vocal melodies in
pre-decided keys that frankly hurt my throat. Am hoping it'll be a very
personal cd. The only song that felt personal this year was 'Ode to
myself', which didn't really make any sense amongst the other songs
about shagging-like-cats, fading-prostitutes and
selling-his-collectables-on-eBay.
(2) Have really listened to
some criticism this year, so I know what I need to work on. Have never
really invited criticism before because I thought it would hurt, but
actually it just confirms what you already knew - and people *do*
notice all the things that you hope they won't.
(3) My cd will have just the one genre (that I love) and will make more sense as a complete product.
(4) I will produce a more professional, polished sounding cd based on Mick's advice this year.
Yep, I am very excited about next year! Views: 806
