Tuning: C# Standard

Hey again everyone,

I know...no full songs yet.  Not even any covers, which is disappointing.  My job has been pretty much keeping me away.  I got promoted there to a manager in training and I've been pretty much focused on that.  But I still write out stuff for music, such as this!

This idea actually came from my new Taylor acoustic guitar!  That's right everyone, I finally got another acoustic guitar and she is a beauty.  So beautiful in fact I gave her a name: Emily.  She's a Taylor 114 CE and goodness gracious does she sound gorgeous in C# standard.  I can't even describe how perfect it sounds and feels.

I saw her on the wall at my Guitar Center and once I picked her up, I sort of new I needed this guitar.  I even tried some more expensive Taylors, but Emily here just had such a unique character about her low end.  I actually held off buying this guitar for a few days, because I was low on money.  I took a picture of the model and serial number though.  I needed this specific guitar.  No other 114 CE would do.  When I went back, I saw Guitar Center pulled her off the wall so I figured someone bought it.  I was disappointed, but then an employee said they had one on the floor.  I checked the serial number and it was her.  I instantly bought it and took it home.

Anyway, Emily here has given me quite a few ideas over the past few months I had her.  Hopefully that means I can make a full song!

As for the demo itself, I experimented a little.  I actually put two similar, but different rhythm parts at the same time, along with a small lead.  Simple stuff really, but this riff or strum pattern or whatever feels like my best work yet.  I can't stop playing it in my head.  I also recorded it with a AKG P420.  Not the best sound I know, but it's all I got setup tonight.

I'm off to bed, hope you enjoyed this demo.
