A photo of my standing desk in its upright position, with a Yamaha BB-434 bass guitar sitting to the left of the desk, and Logic Pro showing on the main computer display.

Current status: totally ripping off @futzle@old.mermaid.town's chord progression from I'm Staying Home This Christmas for my own song I'm noodling around with. 😁

A photo of my standing desk in its upright position, with a bass guitar sitting to the left of the desk, an electric guitar sitting to the right of the desk, a bass guitar multi-effects pedal with a whole ton of knobs and dials on it ON the desk, and Logic Pro showing on the main display.

Doing some more mucking around with my song, I've redone the bass line now. My problem is that each time I come back to the song and listen more I decide I'm not happy with something and need to change it. 😅

A selfie of me, a white man with a relatively short but getting somewhat scruffy-looking red beard and short brown hair, wearing a black Fear Factory t-shirt. I'm holding a white Fender Player II Stratocaster electric guitar and smiling at the camera.

You'll have to speak up, I'm playing a guitar. 😎

I finished the bass line this morning, I've got the broad strokes of the rhythm guitar down and just need to record the rest, so now I'm mucking around with the lead. I recorded some lead earlier in the week but listening to it again now I realised it doesn't go, especially with the increased energy of the new bass track, it was just too slow.
