Practice Diary 2

16/09/15

Today at home I rehearsed Basket Case again for my performance. This time i already knew how to set up my Amp in order to achieve the correct sound for the song. Because of this i had more time to play and practice the song as opposed to messing around with the amp settings. Due to having more time to play i firstly ran through the song without palming muting to get used to the timings and chord progression. After i ran through the song i then played the song slower in order to get used to the palm muting parts. After running through the songs a couple of times slowed down i gradually sped the song up until i was able to play it on the corect speed. Once i had achieved this i played the songs a couple more times to a backing track so that i was then ready for my performance. The good thing about playing the song multiple times was that it helped my muscle memory and it allowed my fingers to get use to where they had to go so that when i performed the song was played easily without struggle.
