1. How can I continue further from this experience? 2. Honestly I'm quite happy with how I came out from the performance because I really tried to find ways to arrange my playing so that it filled in the empty space which the electric guitar would usually fill. Instead of going my usual route of just plucking the bass note all the way, I used arrangements like the walking bass and small riffs here and there whenever it came to transitioning to different parts of the song or filling it spaces with small melodies while supporting the band. 3. Lots of practises with the bass (I'll take pictures next time) 4. I realised for this week how important band chemistry is. Because it really really helps progress the band forward because there isn't much conflicting of ideas and at the same time its like everyone is in sync with one another. Based on my experience and from what I see in other bands, band chemistry is a very powerful thing which I believe alone just by itself can...

1. Question of the Week Where did I go wrong? I figured out where I went wrong and it was in the objective of the presentation. I was suppose to focus on only one topic that was one in itself rather than a topic which could branch out to many other subtopics. Like for example I could've picked Guitar Picking efficiency or left hand efficiency or a certain piano technique or something like that. But the one I had just included too many factors and not to mention the wording of the objective was pretty wrong. Rather than learning a genre it was more of learning a song. 2. My Music Development Although I did mess up I still felt like I grew more in terms of understanding my type of learning. Because although in the end all I did was song-learning, I'm able to learn how to play songs more efficiently in a much shorter span of time. An example, rather than play chords, I'm able to pick out melody lines or learn counter melodies. Not only that, I get to learn new techniques...
