Rehearsals (Creative Covers/Originals)

    Setlist:

• Rock Around the Clock (Bill Haley & His Comets - 1955)

• (Creative Cover) = Plug in Baby (Muse - 2001)

Rock Around The Clock - Performed Solo (Original)

CC Plug In Baby - Harmonised guitar along with vocals/rhythm 

Good: For a first time being put together we sufficed well as a band, we all found our positions as band members happily.

Improvements: Overtime our band energy improved upon this, starting off in rehearsals i had sat down missing my strap which ideally I could have worn, whilst clean my parts could have had more confidence, however we were new.

     Setlist: 

• Hit the Road Jack (Ray Charles - 1960) 

• Fortunate Son (Creedence Clearwater Revival - 1969)

• (Creative Cover) = Still Into You (Paramore - 2013)

Hit the Road Jack - Harmonised guitar along with vocals and the songs backing vocals

Fortunate Son - Solo section I made which kept into the final performance, in the final performance I played the intro using power chords in my own alternative and harmonising completely with the vocals in the verses and chorus on top

CC Still into You - Harmonised guitar along with vocals as well as adding seperate melodies to create a wall of sound

      Setlist:

•  Ain't No Sunshine (Bill Withers - 1971)

Ain't No Sunshine, the live guitar melody with my own phrasing building off it, in the final performance it is slightly more prominent in it's structure.

     Setlist: 

• There She Goes (The La's - 1988) 

• (Creative Cover ---> Then became a normal cover) = Hysteria (Muse - 2003)

There She Goes, the lead guitar melody with my own phrasing building off it in the chorus section, in the final performance timing was more cleaner than the rehearsals.

Hysteria, the lead guitar melody (1/2) of the solo split with the other guitarist to be shared, in the final performance we were significantly more in sync during the harmonies, for my solo section live it was in time however originally in the rehearsals I had been playing an extra note on the solo section which deterred the timing - then corrected later on.

Good: At this point rehearsals were extremely fluent in how we managed to organise sections and help each other between certain instrumentation and dynamics, both songs continued into our final performance to then be clean and polished whereby rehearsals had seemed so long ago in the way we all had progressed together.

Improvements: There was some choppiness in both songs, for there she goes my own confident in keeping the constant melody was not as honed as later on - hesitating and having an inconsistency in how the melody was played. As said prior with hysteria - the solo section had more notes than necessary which didn't line up with the original to then be fixed later.

     Setlist: 

• Zombie (The Cranberries - 1994)

Zombie, the lead guitar melodies of Dolores and chord buildups - in rehearsal timing was not so confident which then cleaned up to be perfect in the final performance, here in rehearsal it was at the final solo section you can see me hesitate where I then left the bar as to pick back up then in time again with the double stops.
