During rehearsal we went through the song a couple of times which went alright, but it wasn’t so easy from that point onward. We have been having a few issues as a band as of late and it is getting more than frustrating to some and a breeze for others.
When we come in to rehearse and book time out of our own personal lives you’d expect everyone to turn up to these sessions to rehearse the set, act professionally and get on with it no matter what is going on.
Personally, I think that it is unacceptable to come back after a week off to not have played through the song or realised that you’ve made a mistake even though you have had the time to listen to the song and play it every day. Even though I was away and had no access to my guitar, every time I listened to the song I had made note of where that sound was coming from on it and what I have previously missed out on, and in comparison to before half term I can definitely say I have improved massively.
Not to mention that we are going to Solent University tomorrow to record the song, I have never felt more on a fence than I have because I am sure half of us our ace and others are winging it so to speak…
After rehearsal, I had an instrumental lesson where I got to learn on how to build any chord and scale I desire, when I get home I will begin to put this to practice and gather all of notes and ideas into one book to then show to my guitar teacher each week!
