simple and jazzy

didn't get a chance to play today. but i did get to listen to some music and chat with one of my friends about song writing. he mentioned that there should be space in a song where feeling is emphasized over straight up riffing. i'm used to doing something on the guitar, like riffing nonstop, to fill the space. but maybe trying simple chords over a sweeter and simpler lead would do just the trick. throw in a few filters and atmospheric sounds and there you have it.

probably won't get to play that much the next few days, but i'll definitely be listening to music to hopefully get new ideas and the such. for now, just keeping track of today's rotation.
