@ambergrey sometimes when that happens to me I try to mentally retrace my steps…especially if I’m able to remember one or two of the chords, I can maybe recall the rest.

@GuitarSith @ambergrey @ruverb yeah the Mic's on phones are pretty incredible really, the main issue seems to be as they're omnidirectional they pic up a lot of room side but if you're close in and the room doesn't suck too much you could probably get something workable...

Although if its for capturing an idea, then it doesn't really matter so much.

@kai I don’t know what I was thinking, it was hubris to say to myself I’d just pick it up in the evening. It was already too late!!

@GuitarSith @ruverb I think Jeff Buckley did some work on a portastudio too, I want one

@karschsp I really hope it comes back Steve, I was so excited about it. I had to leave to do something so I thought “ok I’ll shape this out more later!!” Then…it was gone!

@ambergrey capturing is the first step of the creative process

@ambergrey @ruverb
Bruce Springsteen recorded Nebraska on a PortsStudio 144 I believe. Al Yankovic did some of his work on one as well. You probably don’t need anything super fancy, if you have an iPhone the builtin Voice Memo app would probably work. Just something to give you an audio record that works as a reminder.

@ambergrey @ruverb I am strongly considering the Tascam / zoom recorder, but mostly to get more quality. Until then, my mobile is full with solos, riffs and what not. At least an entire song came from one of the recordings.

@ambergrey It’ll come back. And if it doesn’t, another one will appear in its place. Creativity is endless!

@ruverb I am so on board with the Tascam idea. They are such little creativity machines! Ella Feingold just did a whole solo guitar album on one

@Scott I actually enjoy that possibility though, such a nice way to utilize time travel

@ambergrey Aaargh, annoying! I'd suggest jotting down the date just in case someone invents time travel, but like, they won't.

@ambergrey Ooof, I’m sorry, I hope it comes back to you! I always write everything down now, I learned that lesson the hard way after having the same thing happen multiple times Also been thinking about getting one of those little portable Tascam recorders for quickly recording something.
