I chose this song because since the moment I heard it I loved it, I\u2019ve always wanted to learn it but i could never find the correct tabs for it, especially the notes played between chords changes and when I finally found it, I had to learn it. It took me a while but I finally got it down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This went well because I played along to the song and stayed in time most of the way through, I did go really out of time at the start of the song but I quickly realised and went back in time. I think I did well on the different parts of the songs that go quieter and louder but i haven\u2019t learned the little finger picking bit that he does in the quieter parts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To improve my performance of this song, I could learn the structure of the musical changes and knowing when it goes louder and more aggressive and when it calms down to less aggressive strumming. I can achieve this by practicing more and rehearsing it alongside the song. I can alsolearn how to sing the song and to do so i need to learn the lyrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Nirvana - Where Did You Sleep Last Night (Live On MTV Unplugged Unedited)\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hEMm7gxBYSc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
