Okay, so today I wanted to mess around with the instrumental version of “You’ve Got a Friend in Me.” I’ve always loved that song, and I thought it would be cool to play around with it.
First, I searched for the track online. I tried a few different search terms, just “you’ve got a friend in me instrumental”, then adding things like “karaoke” or “no vocals”.
After listening to some different tracks, I found a version I liked.
Once I had the track, I thought it’s time to play it. I was just messing around, nothing serious. I tried to add a simple drum beat using the music player on my computer, but that sounded… not great.
Then, I tried adding a simple piano line over it. My piano skills are, shall we say, basic, but I wanted to experiment with how that sounded.
My Little Experiment
- Step 1: Found the track.
- Step 2: played it
- Step 3: Tried (and failed) to add a decent drum beat.
- Step 4: Added a super simple piano melody.
It was a fun little experiment! It’s amazing how much you can do with just a simple instrumental track and a little bit of creativity. I’m definitely going to keep playing around with this. Maybe one day I’ll actually be able to make something that sounds half-decent!
