Solo/ Rehearsal Diary





week1

my group focused mostly on figuring out the riff chord and the lyrics. We also working out what to do for the cover, we have decided to choose the song Cranes in the sky by Solange. Our rehearsal didn't show any weakness because we were all improvising so we did not need to plan before. We also figured out what type of genre and storyline we wanted for our original. We have decided to include the Mini Brute in our original song. For my Solo performance I have decided to do a cover on Just like a star by (Corinne Bailey Rae. The chords a simple so I have decided to include different plucking techniques to make it sound like my own. I know the chords very so I'm trying what type of technique I want to include.

Week 2
We started performing the cover we have chosen Cranes In The Sky, and we have also began on our lyrics for our original song . There wasn't any weakness within the group as everyone was fully prepared for the class. we have also decided the type of genre we want to relate to is Neo-Soul. We have included the VT3 (voice transformer) within our original song.  For my solo I have included another which is written by a youtuber named Leah Suh, the song is called What if .


Week 3
We have changed the cover as we thought it was too difficult and a few uncomfortable performing their parts within the cover. The new cover we have chosen to do now is called pink matter by Frank Ocean. We have sorted out our first original song we just need to include more technology into it. In my solo performance I have include another song called lost without you by (Robin Thicke). I have decided I use the verses from Just Like A Star and What If and I will use certain parts of lost without you as the repetitive chorus. 


Week 4
we have created a new orginal song named do you know and we have completed both he 1st original song and cover, the only thing we have to do is include more technology and enhance it to make it sound better and unique. It took sometime to get everything connected and by the time we had completed that we only had a small amount to actually

Week 5
 As a group we were rethinking to include Cranes in the sky Solange our previous cover, but again we did struggle with the tempo and he drumming pattern. We have change the Pre chorus of our 1st original song. we are trying to include more harmonies within or 2nd original. we went through all our songs today and everyone was fully prepared. for my 2nd solo song I have chosen Aint No Sunshine by Bill Withers.

Week 6
 we performed only the original to out class and we received written feedback.

Week 7
Performed all The songs still need to work on the harmonies, we have included a guitar solo for Reece in our 1st original song. went through all the songs today. Solo performance practicing all the songs and using different plucking techniques.
