This week on my genius hour project I was able to get a lot done. I was able to write and finish the base core of my song. From here on out it's smooth sailing with this song, I hope. I have decided that for my song is going to be an instrumental. What this means is that my song will not have any lyrics, just music. I think these are cool because, there’s no lyrics to interrupt and it has a cool flow. I’m not sure if I want to write chords for the base and try to make a music video where I have a band playing with me or not. That would be fun though.
I have memorized what I have written so far for the chorus. I have also started working on some of the bridge of my song and trying to find what I want that to sound like. I’m writing my song with the acoustic guitar as the main instrument but, i’m not sure if I want to add others in or not. I know mostly every song has more than one instrument but, I want to try and see if I can do it on my own first. I really have enjoyed this project because, it lets me branch out and do something I never thought about doing, which is writing my own song. I tried this in the past but, not in as much detail as this project is letting me do. This Monday with my guitar teacher, Kip Snow, I was able to explore more into my song. He helped me try and find a melody or tune for my song. I still haven’t found it yet but, this process takes time. Today I went to church and practiced with my youth band and I told our youth leader about how i’m writing a song for a project for school. He asked me to play it for him, so I did. He helped me a lot after I got finished. He pointed stuff out me, to help me improve my song and my guitar skills. Specifically he told me I needed to make a note clearer and showed me different ways to strum the chord. This helped me get my song in better working order.
