The songs we were practicing we really didn&#8217;t think would fit for acoustic as we were doing Billie Jean and just a girl , Ellie wanted to do what makes your beautiful by one direction so we decided to learn and perform that song instead for the gig. Even though I think it was a better song choice it still wasn&#8217;t the right music for this gig especially with the audience that was there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The actual performance was alright we learnt the song for the gig in roughly a week, I think the worst bit of the performance is the start because I come in faster than the guitar is so we were out of time but we fixed it and it sounded alright. Since the song lacked energy especially when played acoustic , we started practicing the song at a faster tempo to give in more energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We took 2 minutes to set up and get ready to play the song which for what we had to do was a long time I think we should&#8217;ve been a lot quicker with that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since we were at a market and they asked us to keep the volume down we played with acoustic guitars and hot rod sticks for the drums so we could keep the volume down. I think an acoustic gig did fit the venue more than a normal one would , especially with the audience as it was all mainly older people who probably would prefer a quite acoustic performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think if I could redo this project and gig I would make sure everyone takes the practices more seriously and we don&#8217;t mess about with our set list so much and choose a set list that fits the venue\/gig more since we lacked at targeted audience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During this project we got asked to play an acoustic gig which we did.
