*shoots bus drivers*

Well, that was an exciting yesterday. I have to take the bus home from school everyday, but the bus drivers went on strike or something, and they didn't tell us. So eventually, we got a ride from Rob in his dad's Hummer. Quite scary having Rob driving. Right now, I want to pull a Bloody Sunday on those bus drivers.
Oooh, started writing a song. For those of you that are interested, it's in 4/4 at 90 quarter. Chords are C#m, A, C#m, A, C#m, A, E, B, F#m, A, E, F#m, A, B, C. All of them last 4 beats, except the last B, which lasts 6, and the last C, which lasts 2. That's all I have now, and I have a bass line for the left hand that sounds pretty cool. Josi and Kim, feel free to add a guitar part, and Steph, you can make your own part.

Oh crap. Chords. How I hate chords. Hate chords with a passion.

*stab*

...Now that I think of it, actually, I feel like trying to figure them out.

How do I play chords again?

Duncan said...

ok
C#m is C sharp minor. As in C#, E, G#. I didn't use anything fancy, just minors and majors. If there's nothing next to it, then it's major.

Kim said...

You actually expect me to play C#m on guitar?? What am I? Person-with-seven-fingers? Sooooo not that skilled. But I'll work on some instrumental parts if I feel so inclined.

Lmao Kim C# minor is so easy on guitar. I'll teach you it. And Duncan as you well know I came up with a guitar part last night. Is it allowed to repeat it's self? Cause I have a nice little riff done in eights, that I can play quite well. It's kinda pretty. But yes, Duncan write us some words to go by, I'm a lyrical writer, so much easier with some words to go by.

Oh, so just the tonic triad? Ew. That sounds so technical!!! I hope you know what that means, Duncan/person who got above 90s on all exams/LIAR

StephJP said...

...I just made a little melody pour moi-meme, and it's sounding a lot like LOTR. Must...change...

Other than that, it sounds really good. I had some troubles finding the chords, but that's because I've cut off all associations with scales/theory. I (accidently) tried A minor after the C#m, and it sounds really cool. But you probably don't want me changing anything, do you? xD

Snam.

That's really all I have to say, apart from the fact that I'm probably going to eat your blog, provided that your feet are particularly obese and I'm in a palatableblog mood.

I'm about as proficient as a little mammal with no opposable thumbs on guitar. So I won't even try to comprehend that quite yet.
