Yesterday evening I couldn’t find an awful amount of time to practice as I was training within Brazilian Jiu Jitsu because I’m competing on Saturday for the second time professionally this year considering I have just started the martial art.
Keeping that in mind, when I got into Rehearsal today I picked up the bass line fairly fast and yet again the bass line is walking just like the one from ‘I Want You Back’.
Our female singer wasn’t about on the day as she picked up tonsillitis, however our male singer was about and he gave it ago; but at the end of the day he got moved out of band by Chris because he needed to form 4 bands so we worked through that like pros and just continued going through the structure as a trio.
In the morning also, we did composition with Chris we had to compose a 30 second piece based upon a news theme, that was fun to do; it was mainly to get us used to the new programme, it was a great starting point for everyone it was difficult at first but I soon got into the swing of things.
After Composition, we had theory with Jason, I went over my Pop Music in practice notes and made sure I was up to date with everything Jason wanted, I’ll be sure to add more as we progress in the future by analysing the arrangement of the the new songs we’ve learn’t so far!
After lunch, we had rehearsal again which is always a laugh, we went over the arrangement for ‘Livin’ On A Prayer’ and as a band we got roughly about half of it down without the singer which is fairly impressive, but I know we can do better in the future!
