We’re learning celebrity skin we need to get the timing better i need to try and play the snare and kick louder and hi hat quieter. When I joined this course I had a few bad habits I had to fix such as playing in different volumes for different genres.
We also need to learn how to play other sections of the song by ourselves as well as playing together , because we didn’t have a lot of practice/time so we need to at least know what ourselves are doing.
As well as listening to the songs and learning how it goes so that we can get through the song smoothly in time instead of not knowing what sections next.
Our second practice went a lot better because we had time to listen to the song and figure out how the song structure is. This made it so we knew where the next verse and chorus is.
We all also got better at our individual parts as well as working together with good communication. Its still not perfect as we need to be more efficient and we need to work on timing.
We still have more to learn and i need to learn my parts better. I need to also learn to add all the fills and the missing details i have left out in this video.I should get better timing by practicing more and playing with a metronome.
Today we practiced with the vocalist for the first time. There’s still sections we have to practice playing together especially the transitions between the choruses and verses, so that we can stay in time through it all. We will work on this in our next practice.
Still gotta work on timing but it’s getting better each practice. Our band communication isn’t perfect but isn’t bad and better than when we started. When we go home today we’re all gonna try to start learning how to play our second song (I fell in love with a girl).
We have now practiced the song and its gone well we just need to perfect it so we’re confident enough to perform it live. I need to just practice the beat more as I accidentally messed it up twice during our practice.
We need to perfect the timing and decide on how were gonna transition to the 2nd song , and if the vocalists want to then they can also talk to the crowd.
