Now it’s the time for me to get more into guitar picking patterns. Sooner or later, I would have done it anyway but now I’ve got a good reason to start: The production of a new song is at the door and the guitar will play a bigger role than in the former songs. I can strum the guitar quite well but my picking still needs training. Because of that and also for flexibility I learn how to play a guitar on the piano. For basics training I grabbed an external genius who lives in this house, too and it’s even for free! Short summary: While you can play all keys of a piano at once there’s only six strings on the six-string guitar. Therefore, you can play there only six notes at the same time. Also, one string can only take one note from time to time and lastly, it should be physically possible for a guitar player to finger the chords. On Instagram you can see my self-made assistance at the piano.

This year I want to release some singles. For that I currently work on more than one song parallel. I hope to get more time between production and release. Furthermore, there’s this bigger music project of mine and I’m excited how this will proceed by time. I talk more about the project when it’s ready.

I had several ideas how to take photos. One of them was to give this picture not a plain background but something else. Not that the AMG had been standing out but it would have been a peak performance in creativity. Well, it failed because of lack of resource. For me, it was not worth enough to lease one, just because of the fact that you wouldn’t have recognized it in its full size. So, there was one more possibility: I only know one friend who drives this kind of nice one. Unfortunately, it was not possible for him to be there at the time of shooting. I had the thought to just use some car, no matter which one, but I discarded it. It would have been only ‘almost’ and I wanted it to be right that or not at all!

On the way to the location the rain was quite strong, why I had some doubt if the shooting outdoors would work. Maybe we’re going to be forced to use the breaks of rain or we would have to think about using the rain for the pictures. The location in a new development area was already chosen by our photographer Alisa von Lichtfunke. There is the benefit of several background colours, we only needed to choose one of the painted walls. While planning the date I already knew this would be a cold session and it turned out just like that. Of course you can’t see the boots I wore in the picture, as well as the winter jacket my arms were in. Some of you may question how I chose exactly this necklace. That’s simple: I looked through my small jewellery box and picked out a silver one. Of course I like all my necklaces. I just chose according to my gut feeling which one of them would look the best on the photo.

Yippie! Now it all came together: audio file and cover photo. The song is at the distributor. For me, this is a reason to celebrate! The time in-between until the release date I will use for the production of the next song and giving small hints for you. I kept you on a short leash for so long, I’m going to change that.
