Breakdown 7/20

Glad to have RaShaan this week. Sounded great today band. I thought it was one of our "tighter" weeks - everybody played their part very well.

This week is gonna be fun, but slightly challenging - especially the special song Simple Act. Be sure to listen to your specific part and be ready to go on Thursday.

Prelude - Give A Little Bit by Supertramp (Goo Goo Dolls version)
We will play EXACTLY AS THE .MP3
Entire band will play the song.
I will sing the song, so no melody will be played.
Listen to the whole song through, because there are a few tricky syncopated rhythms.

Song - You Are Good (Lincoln Brewster version)
Vocalists - sing entire song. Harmony on "people from every nation..." chorus and bridge.
Band - the sheet music is not in your folder... we are not using the one on Bandstand. We are using a different .mp3 than the one on Bandstand too.
Print the sheet music here.
Listen to the .mp3 here.
There will be a solo section after the "You are good all the time..." part.
The order will be: Lead, bass, keyboard, drums
SONG FLOW: Intro-Verse-Chorus-Verse-Chorus-Interlude-Bridge-Solo Section-Verse-Chorus

Song - Sounds of Heaven
Vocalists - sing entire song. Harmony on chorus. Tenor, alto, lead come in on the backup part. for example, your first word on the chorus is "sounds"
Band - play exactly like .mp3
Acoustic guitar should strum throughout.
SONG FLOW: Intro-Verse1-Chorus-Verse2-Chorus-Intro-Chorus

Song - Simple Act
I will sing. No harmony vocals.
Band - play exactly like .mp3 and pay close attention to your part.
Drums & bass need to play close attention to the rhythm and play exactly.
No acoustic guitar needed.
Light electric guitar needed.

Song - What A Good God You've Been
Vocalists - sing entire song. Harmony on entire song.
Band - do not come in until the last chorus.
No acoustic guitar needed.
Bryce, when you come in on the key change, come in on the ride.
Light electric guitar needed.
Bassist needs to play smoothly with all root notes being played.
SONG FLOW - Verse1-Verse2-Verse3

Song - All To You
Vocalists - unison on verse. Tenor harmony on "I've searched" and all harmony on chorus.
Band - play song like .mp3
Electric guitar solo - play C#m - F# back and forth until solo is over.
