JoS with next round of YAD

Tonight, JoS brought a YAD for kicks. During setup, we talked about influences and what we each would like to play (if we had our druthers). He seems to be more oriented towards classic rock, so things were shaping up to be somewhat interesting.

We started going over some covers, and it seemed like he had a decent feel for the general gist of the tunes, but not quite getting where all the interesting parts should be. But that's not necessarily a bad thing; I don't do everything 100% each time through a song. Tempo was back as in issue, though. Out of the seven or eight covers that we went through, the tempo increased for at least half. Not sure as to why the rushing occurred, but it occurred none the less.

After the covers, we talked, discussing different approaches to the music business. Then we started improving our way through two different ideas. The first one had me playing noodling some semi-ambient chord structures. After goofing on it for awhile, we abandoned the idea for a snippet that Rich has been working on for sometime now. After working through some possible structure for a bit, we called it quits for the night.

I think that we'll probably play with him again.
