In technical development we have been looking at blues and modes and how to use them effectively. This was very interesting as i feel like i really need to start expanding my soloing skills.
in critical listening we looked a key intervals and using them effectively. i find this to be a very useful lesson as week by week, i have seen myself progress and get better at it.
In band skills, we have been rehearsing the song as an original cover and finding out what are the most important techniques that make the song what it is. We then broke down what all of the parts are to the song and what all of the musician would be doing. I found this to be very useful as it would allow us to build upon the song and develop it with no problems.
i am currently trying to learn 'sultans of swing' by dire straights. i am learning this, as i am really interested in the way that Mark Knopfler plays and what he does with the song. i have currently been watching a number of youtube videos of him playing and the use of his claw hand technique.
