Description

I left this one aside till I read today's challenge. It is just an idea, played on a borrowed Gibson Les Paul using a borrowed Epiphone little tube amp. I Was charmed by the tone and played some simple strummed chords and promised to work on it later. I tried to do something with this several times during the past few months but always failed and left it for a more inspiring day, again and again.

Today I opened the master, it was very short (1.5 minutes) and I found two takes of the original recording on that Gibson Les Paul (Dec 2020), some aborted Organ overdub (Jan 2021) and some cymbal washes (Mar 2021).

I cleaned all that up a little, added a bass doubling the Les Paul root notes, took a picture of the Les Paul (still here, she might be claimed back at any moment now) and I'm done with this one.

For this challenge:
Step 1: Think of something music-related you’ve been putting off: finishing a track, starting a track, fixing a piece of hardware, updating a piece of software, trying out something one last time before discarding it. Whatever comes to mind. Preferably something that’s been bothering you.

Step 2: Make a piece of music that checks off the list whatever it was you recognized, in Step 1, you’d been putting off.
