It's a hopeful thing
Today I was thinking about a part from my Electro-Acoustic Orchestra song. It was in the first version I recorded for the class and it's changed a lot since then. But I was thinking of this one little thing that happened by accident when I recorded it and I decided to play it and see if it could be adapted into what the song is now.
I picked up the guitar and looked at it. I thought of the starting note, what it sounds like. I placed my finger on a fret and prepared to strike the string. Before I did though, I moved to a different fret, then struck it. It was the right note. Normally I'd strike at random and then find it based on hearing the wrong one.
This time, no note name, no thought, I just felt what was right to play. I think I'm becoming a musician.
