Finally… Again… Part 2.

20th August 2020.

I came home and sat looking through all the songs I have learnt and know well. The Jimi ones were fun. I forgot I knew some of them. Wind Cries Mary, Hey Joe, Purple Haze and Foxy Lady. Oh… I just remembered. We used to play Fire in the band I was in a lifetime ago. I’ll add that to the list. Spent a few hours playing. Felt good pounding the hell out of my guitar. Even Tornado Of Souls by Megadeth was almost correct. If you don’t know the song, have a quick listen. You don’t need to be into Metal to appreciate how hard it is to learn. I’ve been at it for months.

My latest learnings are ‘Reign’ by Toygirl

And ‘Both Sides Of The Moon’ by Celeste.

Reign is very much like Tash Sultana. Both Toygirl and Tash borrow heavily from Jimi Hendrix’ style. Is there a guitarist alive who didn’t at some point? The only improvisation I’m any good at is his bluesy fluidness. When I’m in the zone anyway. Bloody awful when I’m not!

My Princeling is out celebrating with his pals in town. I hope they are having a good time. Lots of them met up after we got the results. That leaves me wondering what to do. I don’t want to play guitar just yet. I played for hours earlier but it was too loud. My ears don’t want it! Might go and get a take away in a bit. I gave my Princeling money for a slap up meal with his pals too. Hmm. Not had an Indian meal in months… I think I deserve a few races actually. As I mentioned before, its one of my favourite tracks and I rarely get more than 2 races in an evening as they are over 45 minutes long.

I’m hungry…
