for our performance I was worried because I have never performed to more than 20 people so it was kind of nerve racking at first. What I was most confident with is the song Valerie by Amy Winehouse because it was one of the first songs we chose so I had more time to practice with the band.

Even though I was nervous I felt great as soon as we started playing which I was thankful for because I thought my nerves would never go away, I did think we could've done our 2nd song long shot better but considering we didn't practice the amount we wanted it still went well. If we were to do it again I think I would be more interactive with the audience because in our performance I was nervous to. But overall I think we done the best we could.

For me and Maysens project we have chose to do a cover of half the world away by Oasis, we decided to do half the world away because we both knew and liked the song and thought it would be fun to cover when I play the guitar and Maysen sings. To find chords I chose the website Guitar tabs and chords because I was already familiar with it due to practicing other songs, The only thing we change was that we move the key up one to fit more with Maysens voice.

For my power point slide i will be talking about the setlist and song choice our band chose. To make sure everyone was happy with the decisions we made sure we discussed a couple weeks prior to the performance. The songs we agreed on was Valerie by Amy Winehouse and Mark Ronson, Longshot by Catfish and the bottlemen and lastly hard times by Paramore. We chose these songs for our performance because we all thought they were good reliable songs to do our first performance with since they are not too challenging but also not boring. we played them in the same order as i stated so that we start with Valerie to get the crowds attention with a well known song, then we go straight into long shot which is not as well known and more of a fast paced song to switch things up from Valerie, and finally ended with hard times since it is such a positive and upbeat song that the crowd will know and enjoy. And with all three of the songs the skill level is a little different with all of then, The song level for Valerie is at an easy place due to it being basic chords and repetitive, for longshot it gets a little bit hard due to different timings throughout the song, then for hard times it goes back down to a medium level since it is repetitive but also fast pace.

For this project i think me and my group did farewell well due to how nervous we were, there are definitely things on the powerpoint we could’ve upgraded but didn't know how to. Overall i think we did the best we could and thats all we aimed for.

# data[].attributes.body
Unfortunately me and Maysen saved it under the wrong name and now not able to access logic or our project, even though this means we worked hard for it to not be accessible we have learned how to save things properly for the future projects and work. Overall i still think we did our best and still learned valuable things for the future.

# data[].attributes.body
I think we got quite lucky with our band due to a couple of us already being in a band before and we also could agreed on two songs easily.

For our songs we have chosen to do sk8ter boy by Avril and sweet child of mine by guns n roses

# data[].attributes.body
for this project it does push me a little bit over my comfort zone because I am not a tech person so using all these new controls for logic I do find a little bit confusing but I think I am getting the hang of it.

# data[].attributes.body
I found this project more difficult then the other projects because I was never really good with technology especially Logic Pro, but the good outcome from this project was that I learned new things that will come in use in the future.

I learned how to properly do time stamps and I did try to sample different sounds but didn't work out but at least I know mostly how to do it for next time.

Here are some of my bands ideas

# data[].attributes.body
the thing i struggled with the most was remembering all the little shortcuts or tricks that make the video or audio sound better but i will be able to pick it up

# data[].attributes.body
We wrote a song about how quick life goes and how it is just 1 big circle that keeps repeating itself. The chords we use is C G F and Em

1. one of the skills I have learned this year is to work in bands with people with different opinions and covering different styles of music, and that is also some thing I would enjoy to work on further.

2. I am currently still deciding on if I want to do a technical project or a performance based project because I like performing with my bands but I also would like to do a cover of a song.

3. I feel like I would need a little help to like mix it and putting effects on it maybe and I would need a singer also since I prefer to just play guitar.

4. I think I could balance doing a project on my own mostly and still putting my effort into in the performance class band.

5. if I did a cover for my project I would like to do a finger style song to change things up a bit from usually just doing a chord structured song.

# data[].attributes.body
we decided to make a different song about how don't want someone to leave you

our original song

skater boy rehearsal

second last rehearsal

we focused more on our original because some of the members have been off so we needed to catch them up a bit.

the vocalist worked on harmonies and me and dez (drummer) were trying to figure out how we build up to the chorus and how we finish it.

# data[].attributes.body
last rehearsal

for the last one we figured out the set up we were going to be standing in and we found it best if me and ellis stood next to each other and cayden and rory standing together because cayden and ellis both share some of the lead solos so it would make more sense if they were at different sides

# data[].attributes.body
overall i definitely think my confidence and skills have improved since last project

PRO

more confidence

learnt more techniques

had more fun !

CONS

coudlve practiced more

should have turned my amp up on the last song

# data[].attributes.body
for the performance i was like a back up rhythm due to kerian also playing rhythm but i actually ended up playing main rhythm because kerian was not able to play for the performance.

i also was leading everyone in our original because i start the song so i need to play it in the right tempo for other people to join in.

# data[].attributes.body
in our original when it gets to the chorus the strumming gets more deep and slow so i need to change it and then going back into the verse i need to slowly get faster.

certain points of sweet child of mine i only play down strums so the vocalist have a little solo bit.

# data[].attributes.body
i gave chord structures and suggest the tempo being more upbeat and then switching it up for the chorus and slowing it down

reflection

debrief

# data[].attributes.body
sweet child o’ mine by guns n roses is a rock love song written by Axl rose for his then-girlfriend. The song has a typical structure of verse chorus verse 2 chorus bridge instrumental then outro, The tempo is mid paced 125-126 Bpm but slows down at the bridge, with a time signature of 4/4 and a straight groove but still feels rocky. As the song plays you will hear that it is thick and full not leaving any room for silence.

The lyrics are all about his love for his girlfriend at the time and being innocent, pure and also gives a nostalgic effect, it is written in first person so it gives the vibe he is singing it to his girlfriend at the time. Theres about a medium amount of lyrics but there is repetition in the chorus, bridge and outro, the difference between the verse chorus and bridge is that in the bridge the whole vibe changes and goes a bit lower and deeper, but still the song stays in the key D major throughout. The rhythm for the vocal is long and slow and is also monotone with the range being C#6-C#3. Most people recognise sweet child of my by its famous intro and solos at the intro of the chorus but also gets repeated throughout. The chords sequence is quite simple being D major C major and G major for the chorus and then C-G-D for the chorus.

For this song i play acoustic rhythm guitar and my job is basically to keep the rhythm flowing and in time, throughout the song i stick to the same strumming pattern. To make the song a little bit different i put a suggestion that the guitarist just do down strums on the bridge so that it gives more of an eerie feel. Overall all of the little things i have mentioned work together to make a amazing depth and vibe to sweet child of my mine.

I think me and Morgan did a good job for our performance considering we did not have a a lot of practice time, for "this is the life" the strumming was the biggest challenge for me due to how fast it is but after slowing it down and figuring out a way to stay on time it all worked out. if I were to do it again I would probably look up more and put more details into the song like a bass note etc

this is just an extra thing I did to help Sarah for her final project but I thought I should just put it on here as well.

me and Sarah covered a song called "iloveitiloveitiloveit" by Bella key. if you know the song originally you would realise that it should be in a lower key but to fit Sarahs voice more we moved it an octave lower. we also got Caleb from HND to help with a little bit of the editing to the audios but he really just helped us to understand it a bit more.

# data[].attributes.body
we also did a cover of "Valerie" by Amy Winehouse which was quite a refresher because we performed it in our first band and is one of the first songs me and Sarah have ever covered together
