It's "A Joyful Noise"

Thursday, June 10, 2004

OK, tonight was a great night. We got a LOT done on "Desert Flower", a song John Newman's been writing. It's a sort of light Jazz instrumental.

We started off with John playing a short piano solo for the bridge, and then he had me play a clean guitar solo. I was really nervous, because I don't do jazz very well. I just don't have the experience in it. But it came off pretty well. At least John was pleased!

Then I did some rhythm guitar. Lots of 7th chords, which I can do, but I'm not used to some of the voicings, so it was again really tricky. But it worked.

And finally the bass.

And all during that time, John's young son Zack was running the mouse. He looked like he was having fun, and he picked up Cubase pretty quickly.

But the best part of the night was having John cut the trumpet lead. Wow. What a rich tone! This boy's goooooooood!
