Yesterday afternoon, Eric dropped by so We could go through the song again and make it as solid as possible before we go in on Saturday. Tiffany programmed the drum machine and I got my bass out so i could figure out my parts.
 Today I will practice my bass part and do some thinking in preparation for tomorrows session.

Saturday practice session

April 23
noon-2:30pm

Today Eric came over so we could work on the transitions from verses to chorus and back. We decided to slow down the tempo a little and give a few extra measures for a solo. I was toggling on the drum machine from verses to fills, and messing up the timing, but we figured out a fix for that problem.

I really don't have much to report other than this sat, Eric is coming over again and hopefully he's been practicing the song and it should sound awesome by the time we get together. I need to bring out my bass too to learn my parts as well.

Fleshing out "Please, Mr. Zombie"

On Sunday, April 10, my friend Eric came over at around 4pm so we could work on Tiffany's song. I set up some drums from my BOSS recorder just so we would have something to follow along to. Tiff was working at the piano, trying to figure out the notes for Eric.

At one point I borrowed the guitar from him because I had an idea of what Tiff was trying to tell him, so I demonstrated what I thought she wanted in the song. He is more of a guitarist than I, but every once in awhile I get in tune with what the other person wants in a song. We recorded parts of the song  like verses and chorus.

Found a project

For my project I decided to work with Tiffany on a song for her film she's making. The song is called "Please, Mr. Zombie." She wants to do her own vocals, and also have electric guitar, bass, and drums. I think I will ask my friend Eric to play guitar, and I can do bass.
