cover song update (day 9 of 100)

I have a couple of ideas for longer posts, but they're both on the heavier side. Since I'm not feeling very up to going deep into my feelings today, I'll give a little update on "Hallelujah." Slow and steady progress!

So far, I've:

• figured out the main fingerpicking pattern and chord progression for everything except the bridge
• transcribed the main guitar part into musical notation (both for future reference and to strengthen my music-reading muscles)
• practiced playing and singing the lyrics at the same time, which I feel decent about at this stage
• (new!) gotten the lyrics locked down
• (new!) figured out the bassline (the notes the right thumb plays while fingerpicking) for the bridge
• (new!) practiced all parts of the song except the bridge, and they're coming together nicely

What's left to do:

• figure out and transcribe the rest of the guitar part for the bridge
• practice the bridge, focusing on tricky parts
• figure out the vocal harmonies
• decide which other instruments to include in the arrangement, if any
• record the various parts: main guitar and vocal, vocal harmonies, and any others, like second guitar or subtle keys
• mixing and other simple post-production
• record a simple video, edit if necessary
• put it up!
