Loops!

I keep straying from my original goals for this blog. Rigid goals stifle creativity anyway, so I'm just going to throw them out the window. As long as I produce something with my instruments and Garage Band, I figure something creative will happen.

I heard the song Jimi Thing by the Dave Matthews Band yesterday for the first time in a very long while and I really liked the intro guitar riff. After I learned it, I recorded the four measures in Garage Band, recorded four measures of rhythm guitar and bass, then layered one of Apple's drum loops on top of it all. I looped the four measures a couple of times and was pretty pleased with the result. I then busted out some karaoke on top of it all, but unfortunately, even Apple's pitch correction technology and vocal effects couldn't make me sound like Dave. I guess I'll keep my day job.
