One of my musical aims for Autumn / Winter 2025 is to finally do a full recording including vocals of my original song ‘Out Of Order‘.

The song was written in 2017, inspired by my late sister Michelle’s battle with cancer, performed live twice (poorly), once as a duo and once solo.

To-date I have only recorded the instrumental version. So today I re-visited the guitar introduction, that I now plan to vary slightly, as I start to prepare for re-recording later in the year.

Since 2017 I have continued developing as a guitarist. I recently bought my Jet JS400 which comes with a tremolo arm, a new experience for me. Some kind advice on usage came from Kirklees Guitar School‘s James and George after sharing my video of the intro with them. James also suggested looking at the use of Vibrato, especially for phrase end notes, so I shall investigate that too.
