I practiced playing is before hand but it still felt rushed. I managed to hit one in the beginning of the song but that was pretty much it I gave it my best at trying to hit all of them again because I was in a rush at finishing the assessment, If I played it a second time it would have sounded a lot better.<br><br>This piece would have sounded better if I wasn&#8217;t in such a hurry trying to finish the piece. also the quality of the video could be better if I used a better amp with a different pedal also if I improved on my techniques of playing pinch harmonics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10633466\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/568\/2023\/09\/Jozef-Tancos-Initial-Assessment.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of Jozef-Tancos-Initial-Assessment.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-99a3296c-cf8c-4716-b4d5-6055a275be77\" href=\"https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10633466\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/568\/2023\/09\/Jozef-Tancos-Initial-Assessment.pdf\">Jozef-Tancos-Initial-Assessment<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10633466\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/568\/2023\/09\/Jozef-Tancos-Initial-Assessment.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-99a3296c-cf8c-4716-b4d5-6055a275be77\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>SMART Target-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Specific- I would like to improve on my pinch harmonics <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Measurable- I am going to record myself practicing the same song once a week until I manage to hit each pinch harmonic in the song then I am going to learn another song that includes pinch harmonics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Achievable- As of now I can sometimes hit a pinch harmonic, all I have to do is work on my thumb placement and know where the sweet spot is for hitting a pinch harmonic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Relevant- It is relevant to me because some of the solos I would like to play include pinch harmonics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Time-bound- I would like to have this done by the end of project 4 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is my initial assement of me playing Bring Me to Life by Evanescence.
