I'm intrigued, stressed, and confused all at the same time. A friend came over tonight and told me about an idea he has for a song. So I'm supposed to come up with an "epic riff" by the time he comes over again tomorrow night. Then we'll have something to work from. And he had to point out that he doesn't want "power metal epic, just epic."
So it really helps that I broke a string on my nearest guitar this morning and decided to destring and pull the thing apart....
So about 17 hours to come up with an "epic riff" on a Strat-style guitar with no strings, no electronics, and
no power metal. To me,
that sounds epic.
I guess I'll just pull that philharmonic orchestra out of my back pocket and get to work....
