Episode 57 Anatomy of a Song - Gimme5

How's a song composed? So many processes, many possibilities that are hard to quantify. With this Anatomy of a Song, I'm breaking down the process behind the composing of my latest single, Gimme5, who was officially released yesterday. I'm sharing the initial thoughts, the first glamour of an idea, how it gets developed and turned into a concise piece of music and how it gets explored and further developed during the recording process. I'm also releasing a really awesome bundle where you get both the high res track (and Mp3 version as well) plus the lead sheet with all the voicings written out the way I play AND the super fun part - I'm also including all the playalongs I'm using in this video: The Demo I used to present the tune to the musicians at the recording session (minus the guitar part so you can play along) and the solo section play along in both version (the recording length and the practice extended length one) so you can really stretch and practice these changes and really master them. Sounds like fun right? let me know your thoughts in the comment section!
