Today I was playing with barre chords and I found a cool sequence (frets 5, 7, and 10).

More playing with chords! I repurposed the picking pattern from “No Surprises” and played it on F#m and Gm add 9. I think it sounds a little mysterious.

A cool ukulele chord progression I found: F, Dm, Am.

Today I practiced the infamous ukulele barre E chord. It’s definitely harder than other chords I’ve learned so far, but also easier than I expected.

More ukulele practice! I continued practicing “No Surprises”, but most of my practice is just random chords, so here’s that:

Ukulele practice! Today I started playing “No Surprises” by Radiohead, tab by ukulelehunt.com. It’s probably not a good beginner song, but I’m trying it anyway.

Today I got a ukulele and I’ve never loved an instrument more.

I played some guitar today. Full barre on the 9th and 5th frets sounds cool.

Today I made a pop drum beat with my Apple Pro keyboard and a book (English Literature by William J. Long). Thanks to drummingtips.com for their beginner drum beat article.

Today I played with some ambient sounds in Garageband.

I call this piece “An Overloaded Washing Machine in a Snow Storm”.

I was playing some guitar today and I noticed that the ii-V-I chord progression doesn’t sound as resolving as it does on piano.

Today I didn’t sample anything, I just used the sounds in Flip.

I should learn to play the drums.

More guitar chords! (C, C maj7, Am, G, and F add9) For some reason the audio is crunchy, not sure why.

I was feeling really uninspired today, so here’s one of my favorite chords: F add9.

Today I played some guitar chords and reversed the samples. I think it sounds cool. It was tricky to make the peak land on beat, so I didn’t even try xD

I’m still playing with the Mellotron sounds and I’ve only tried three of them! Here’s two little sequences I made. I’m not sure how to combine them. Every time I add two Mellotron sounds in the same song, it just doesn’t sound good.
