I have decided that I want to do a cover version of one of my favourite tracks - Breaking the spell by Pendragon. It won't be easy as there are no Tabs or chords that I can find anywhere and I am very poor at trying to figure out stuff like that. Add to that the fact that it is over 9 minutes long and it looks like an improbably task for me. However, that is the plan. If I can just figure out the chords then I should be fairly covered for keyboard and bass parts. Not much that will tax on the lead guitar front other than the fact that I don't have a good ear at all and it will be a lot to write out and memorise.
Got a challenge for yourself?

I'm aiming to have a five song "ep" of sorts done this year, is like to do say five or six songs, which are coherent in style and a decent representation of what i like, probably 4 originals then one or two covers. I would then like to get it on a CD with artwork as well. Whether I manage it remains to be seen lol
The other challenge we should all set ourselves is to enter the regular Fretboard Challenge competitions!!!

I had a pretty shitty 2015 what with tendonitis, tinnitus and a bunch of personal stuff going pear-shaped. Inspiration was very thin on the ground.
Very little has changed but if I don't just get on with it and start getting stuff done, it never will.

Should the opportunity and inspiration occur, I intend to record a few small tracks. I have assorted ideas and part-recordings to work from, just need to flesh them out a bit.
Finally I will maintain my recent success on defocusing on the gear (other than selling what gets little to no use). I have enough stuff, and it is good enough.
