50 Songs: Guitar Noodling

In the midst of this crazy hectic time, I carved out 30 minutes to “write.” Of course, this isn’t a full song, and may never be useful to me, but then again it might.

This is just me noodling around on the acoustic in a “round” of sorts. Kind of playing with my improv and counterpoint skills. Most of the lines that come in are improv’d.

The key is D. The tuning is DADGAD.

The singing is just me goofing off. I could actually hear those parts as a string quartet or something.

There’s no purpose to this tune other than to have done something creatively in the middle of a whirlwind of trying to organize and pack and move this weekend.

Kind of has a whimsical feel to it. 6/8. Another compound meter diddy. I could hear it possibly as the intro to a Christmas carol arranged in 6/8 or something. Or possibly an original Christmas tune. We’ll see.

Hope you like.

    Sounded like some great movie soundtrack stuff.

    Wasn’t expecting the Oompa Loompas to start singing. Kinda scared me.

    Haha, indeed, that was definitely me having fun! Really could hear those lines in a string section of some sort eventually. I’ll keep playing with it.

    I can almost hear this being turned into something medieval and used a dance, with lutes, etc…

    Which does fit with the Christmas carol thing too…and even the Oompa Loompas…lol
