25th April – In todays lesson we listened to the recording from last week and continued jamming over our improvised song that we have yet to have names. After practising our A and B sections we established the C section. The C section was a riff that I came up with that is based around an f# bluesy pattern. The tab for the riff is:
D-------------7-----9------7-------------
A--9---9---------------------------9------7
We experimented with how many times we should play this riff and we decided we should play it 8 times. We then realised that this became a little repetitive so for the 5th and 6th time around we moved it up a tone the back down for the 7th and 8th time. Whilst i was playing this riff dom was improving over the top of it using the f# and then the g# pentatonic scales over the top of it.
After this everyone continued trying to add appropriate parts each time we played it
To conclude the lesson we jammed the reggae piece with the vocalists for the first tim. This made a big difference as it filled out the piece and made it fill complete and resemble the original more. The singers had to adapt to leaving the space for the improvised sections but once this was worked out the piece was perfected and it is now ready to be performed.
