[islandguitar]

Hi Barry,
If it's a new original, I'm fully involved in that tune for a period of time. Totally infused! Might play it 100 times working out little or big stuff......I'm humming it....thinking it through, sometimes dreaming at night or arranging and re-arranging stuff in my head to try and get to a certain place for recording. On weekends, I try to stretch to go over my range of songs to keep them in my head. Several guitars tuned to my tunings and then go from one to the other.

Once I've recorded, there's a bit of a "release" and then I can go back and pick up tunes I want to work on....maybe just a couple at any one time.
