Breakdown 9/21

Prelude - It's My Life by Bon Jovi

We will not do the entire song.
Nathan will play melody on guitar.
Closed hi-hat on verses, really accent the hard beats.
Open the hi-hat on the chorus and rock it out!
No acoustic guitar needed on this song.
We will cut this one after the second chorus.

Song - Hosanna
Vocalists - sing entire song. tenor harmony on "cause we we see you..." and full harmony on chorus.
Band - play exactly like .mp3
Closed hi-hat and kick drum on verses... open hi-hat rockin' on chorus and instrumental
Guitar solo after second chorus.
SONG FLOW: Verse1-Chorus-Verse2-Chorus-Instrumental-Prechorus-Chorus-Outro

Song - My Savior Lives
Vocalists - I will sing verse 1, Nathan sings verse 2. Harmony on chorus and bridge.
Band - play exactly like .mp3
Starts with drums on snare and kick in double time w/ electric guitar riff.
This song should rock the entire time... open hi-hat throughout...
Lizzy, pay attention to the drummer's kick and hi-hat on the verses..
After bridge, just drums (snare and kick - pop it loud!)
Guitar solo after second chorus
SONG FLOW: Intro-Verse1-Chorus-Verse2-Chorus-Instrumental-Bridge(4x)-Chorus-Chorus

Song - Jesus Messiah
Vocalists - I sing verses, harmony on chorus and bridge.
Band - play EXACTLY like .mp3 - we will not change anything!
Snare rhythm through first half of verse 1 and add the kick in halfway through.
Drive the chorus and the bridge (on bridge, ride the crash cymbal)
Song starts with piano and snare roll...
SONG FLOW: Verse1-Chorus-Verse2-Chorus-Bridge-Chorus-Outro

Song - About Me
I am singing this song, Nathan will sing harmony.
Play like the .mp3
Lizzy, go to ride on the chorus instead of closed hi-hat on .mp3.  Use closed hi-hat on verses
Very simple - let the piano drive this song.
Bass and electric should be very light!
SONG FLOW: Verse-Chorus-Verse-Chorus-Chorus

Got it, and will see you guys Sunday. John already knows I can't make rehearsal this week. Break a string/stick/key/leg!
