Week 6

__________________________________________________________________________________

A new setlist again.

The gig week is coming up fast and since we have recently stopped working with josh full time we have had time to be more productive with our work so rethinking the set we have decided to keep come together in the set and continue playing too good regardless of my slow learning on the bass, Toby's drumming for the song is progressing well and luckily we got a opportunity to perform these songs in preparation for the FMP gig.

Crown.

Crown is going along well no problems have came while playing this song in rehearsals and the drums are consistent in tone and timing and ain't overdone.

Come together.

Come together is part of the new setlist thanks to how well we played it with only a few hours of rehearsals and also by the fact that people can dance and sing along with it so that helps engage the audience while performing.

Too good.

Too good is so awesome to play in rehearsals and even onstage and It's really interesting me in continuing to learn the bass for other songs and maybe for next year.

Waking up.

It's obvious that waking up was a bit short so Amie decided to add a bridge to the song so I've added a nice drumming build up for this part of the song to hopefully help engage the audience with the song.

Toby's original.

I'm still trying to figure out how I want drum this song I've not really got a clear plan for this song yet but while rehearsing it I stick to a common theme and drum pattern.

PNE.

PNE is PNE it's literally perfect the drums are basically a exactly the same every time I play it and we can't do it wrong.

Peaches.

Peaches is also perfected after playing it in the studio las week and using a metronome has improved my timing and made the song flow better in rehearsals.

Bass

This week I've managed to add a extra part to the bass on too good but other than that I've only been researching bass techniques and trying to get more comfortable holding the bass correctly.

I haven't been too comfortable with knowing what notes to hit that match the other instruments unless I am told what the right notes are I want to improve on this and learn how to play by ear to any song similar to how I can on the drums.
