alright, i'll start off by commenting about how we're progressing with the aid of the last jamming session we had.
And so we jammed yesterday, we were supposed to do 8 songs but we ended up doing 7 in 2 hrs...hmm hysteria seems out of place cuz of no nice starting bass, its a bass song afterall but i guess that we might be throwing it out soon enough
4 old songs we did was good,we managed to cover everybody's fool once again perfectly, time is running out is however one of the best muse songs we're covering during the session. tourniquet's bridge is as well finally perfected with the help of daniel to count the timing and to co-ordinate the guitar and drums together, make a note that if we ever plan to perform that song, we have got to work and practise on the bridge. PLEASE watch our timings (: feeling good was not bad, the solo was better than the last session (:
we can get two of the vines songs out of the list, it was well done and yes we have got to fuck the world more (:as for polygraph, right now! it sounded rather plain, but doing an acoustic version would be good (:
Now feedbacks on each of us
Nicole - You did your homework exactly as we told you to, comparing it to the previous session. The beats are becoming much more solid and more technical. The sessions are being brough to new heights, however, it's important to watch out the timings.As for technicality goes up chances are that the timing will as well go down,that's just a friendly reminder alright? (: you're doing a wonderful job!
Grace - Well done from the power house vox (: didn't choke on any sweets this time, but just watch out for the keyboards and please do not forget your part! it's difficult to play and sing at the same time, but just try your best (: practise makes perfect (:
Daniel - Nice bass licks but bring your own fender jazz bass the next time, your bass sounds so much better than the studio's bass (: Practise hysteria once again, and if you can't do it without the effects we will have to scrap it out. Yet again, you're the crazy and high one during the session bouncing around especially for the last song, but personally, i think that the last song that wrapped up the session was the tightest!
Good job this time people, but i believe we can do much better during the next session!
Anyway, I felt that i didn't bring out the sound to its biggest potential, and although dan said its just minor detail, i'm not very happy with the amplifer not bringing out the sound that i want, that's how they freaking make money! making the guitarist figure out the tone they want for hours before they actually start! present pedals won't work :( sigh! ah well.
Reminder: Learn your taking back sunday songs next session on friday, work hard next session and we will post the latest update regarding the new jamming list by tomorrow, so you guys will have at least 5 days to learn up 4 songs.For your information, taking back sunday is in Flat half step down, so daniel please keep it in mind, drop your bass before you reach the studio! (:
