Live lounge update 3-

As a group this Wednesday was our first proper rehearsal since my gig in which we realised we were lacking, behind what we had originally planned but in our 2 hour lecture for band skills we went through timings, because i was having trouble coming in on the correct time as the backing track i was rehashing to with a metronome was completely different , so to resolve this we recorded a backing track with timing and without metronome to help me figure it our and practice at home.

Although we had rearranged our set up and how we played it compared to the original , for example in the original the chorus and verse are not identified by particular chords so we changed the chords round so that we could make sure that the verse and chorus were identified we also added a piano instrumental before the first verse. Our second task was to make sure there was places to breathe in ' whole time the want to take my place' so we made it short and snappy and we added stabs with the instruments so that those words were expressed as well as a small pause in between each one, the instruments had to make sure they were getting there stabs in tack because they were the mot important throughout the song.

we also released that there were barely any breathe points in our whole piece so that is why we added an instrumentation part and slowed it down, although when we tried to slow it down it lost effect and the instruments whaled away from the slow version and moved back to what we had originally, so we decided to keep it that way but change the style instead of keeping it to rapping and singing the lyrics fast we done it slow and steady lyrics.

we also had feedback from Rodger from this practice as well , he told us the instruments were not in time they were doing their own thing and wasn't supporting each other or me , so we resolved this by going through each step by step and blending the two instruments together instead of over playing .
