Today we went over ‘I want you back’ for the I know you got soul concert tomorrow which everyone in my band is looking forward to a lot, personally I cant wait to showcase my abilities to everyone attending and my old music teacher if he can make it from work which would make my evening a lot better, especially confidence wise, but I’m not going to get my hopes up because he’s a very busy man, either way I’ll perform to the best of my abilities as either way he’d be proud of me alongside Chris and Jason!
In our theory slot this morning we went over whats going to go on in college in the weeks to come which is always handy as I like to know whats going on rather than walking into things completely blind which I have tendencies to do.
My new bass finally arrived also, it’s a fender Jazz bass made in 2002 and it’s in mystic blue which is a cool colour. Its the same model and colour as my old music teachers bass without the fifth string essentially because when I played his bass it was a pain as the neck was so wide due to the extra string so I chose the four string which I love. Chris came in and gave it a whirl, he liked it also but we both agreed that the action could be lowered and the bridge needed to be sorted out and the trust rod also, but that’s something to do in the future because Chris is a busy guy.
Then after lunch we had rehearsal again, which is self explanatory. We went over the song as many times as we could without inflicting injuries upon ourselves or the vocalists voices otherwise tomorrow wouldn’t go down particularly well in my eyes if that were to happen.
