week 13

Freddy Blogging

Freddy said he was fed up of the photo's only being of him and said he should take one of me to see how I felt about it

hello there music addicts and this is my 13 week on my course this week i had some practice learning Maggie may from rod Stewart as this is my 70s music project piece. the reason why i chose this song as my 70 piece is because it was something that i have never heard of and i hadn't played before which i thought would be more of a challenge for me as i didn't know the song. As for the other songs i had performed they were simple to me because they were songs and artists that i had heard off and listened to. today during practice i had learnt many different pattens and ways to play different songs this was something i struggled with because i knew how to play chords as well as root notes but after awhile remembering all this is hard to remember when performing.  what i mean to say is that when you know how to play chords, trying to keep one hand playing a root note while the other is on a chord and then keeping in time with the band your playing with its alot to think about. So the consequence is to hit the wrong chord or root note. so the solution is to have the patients and to keep practicing.



This is the song that I'm doing a cover version of. Maggie may Rod Stewart and the Faces


Here's a clip of Freddy working on the chords with me (Simon)
