I continued my work on the second track. I adjusted a few things based on my reflection which was making the melody stand out more.
First of all, the intro was completely changed. I stopped using the keyboard pedal as well as changed the chord stabs into a different pattern. Secondly, I added another 8 bars to the head of the tune. Last but not least although you cannot hear it in this track, I plan to ask my tutor Johnny to add some trumpet playing to the mix. I will send him a version with MIDI trumpets so he can learn them and record using a real one.
