This morning I had a guitar lesson, we went over a chord progression he had written on the board and I then had to play through it.
After that tedious exercise we went through scales which consisted of the chromatic scale starting on all different, the major scale in 8ths and many more.
I will continue to practice in my free time to achieve the best possible grade in my upcoming exam, I can achieve this by using my practice routine which can be found under my Unit 7 tab!
Once my lesson was finished we were supposed to have a rehearsal session but our singer is still very ill and the rest of my band scampered off, so I was left in the corridor for an hour.
During the time given, I began to write up my proposal because Chris has asked for it to be on our blogs by next week. So I have a week to write up a rough but stable copy to slowly add to and improve as the term comes to a close.
Afterwards, I was pretty hungry and I was getting fairly agitated from there being so many people loitering within the corridor so I decided to go get lunch with my partner and take a much needed break.
My day was then finished with some Grade Three theory which is always interesting, today we went over Major and Minor Pentatonic Scales.
We had to name the scale and then write out the name of its relative counterpart in the empty scale below, we only managed to get through one as Chris had to speak us through the whole process.
I understood the task but because it was the end of the day my focus was dwindling and the heat did not help that at all, anyway here’s my work below:
After this I then took off to spend the rest of my evening with my partner and family because it’s my brothers fifth birthday.
Me and Ethan decided to buy him a present on the way home from college which he was pretty happy about, tomorrow I will be doing lots of work you can be sure to here from me soon!
