During a mid life crisis in 2016, I tried to self learn a few chords on a crappy €50 strat copy. In 2017 I started recording stuff into my computer through a cheapo soundcard. This is an example. I still have no idea where it came from or how to play it.

Then I bought a second hand copy of the guitar Angus Young plays/ed, scuffed it up a bit and recorded a track home alone. That felt better. I eventually plucked up the courage to play the recording to a time-served rock and blues man who had given me a couple of lessons.
Half way through he turned it off and asked “Where the hell did this come from?”
I answered, “The first lesson, you asked me if I wanted to learn music or tracks. Remember, I chose music?”
He smiled, said I'd played a couple of notes he couldn't reproduce on his guitar and put the headphones back on.
I still have no idea where it came from and apart from a couple of chords, I still couldn't play it again.

Having bared my soul I will now retire to my room and die inside! See what you think! #music #12songsofChristmas
it's nice
jazz and blues are all about improvisation
but IMO you use that to find the melodies and then you write poetry that it brings out of you
it can go in the opposite direction but whichever thing lets you ree the best is where you sholud point your process
Very enlightened view. Cheers
However I don't hear any poems in those tracks.
I used to play with a band and the singer rearranged the second one ( commercialised it!!) and came up with lyrics, but for the life of me I can't remember a line or word or harmony. That was in my memory loss period!
