Breakdown 4/19

Prelude - Reptilla by The Strokes
Nathan will play the melody (shocker)
Play it exactly as .mp3
We WILL NOT play the entire song
We will play it until after the guitar solo - we will END the song right before the final verse (so the end of the guitar solo)
RaShaan... pretty easy on bass.  Just make sure you get the chord changes after the chorus, pretty quick.


Song - Let God Arise

Vocalists - I will sing verse 1 / Nathan verse 2 / harmony on chorus / harmony on bridge

Band - exacty like .mp3

Skip the acoustic intro - starts with drums and electric guitar
After 2nd chorus, cut down to just guitar and vox - slow  build during bridge

FLOW: Verse1-Chorus-V2-C-C-Bridge-C-C-Outro

 

Song - Not To Us

Vocalists - I will sing verse 1 / Stephanie verse 2 / harmony on chorus / harmony on bridge

Band - similar to .mp3 - use as a reference for flow

Keep the verses simple, nothing special on any part:
    Acoustic lays down chords
    Straight kick/hi-hat beat
    Nothin' too fancy on electric

Drive the bridge after chorus 2

FLOW: V1-C-V2-C-Bridge-Outro

 

Song - This Is Our God

Vocalists - I will sing verse 1 / Nathan verse 2 / Nathan & I sing verse 3 / harmony on chorus

Band - YOU WILL PLAY ON THIS SONG - listen to the .mp3 for flow 

There is no drums, bass, or electric on the .mp3, but all of those instruments will play
Acoustic can strum throughout
Drums, bass, electric - make your entrance after 1st verse
    Reid, give a fill before you make your entrance
    Nathan, nothing too fancy on the verses... keep it simple on chorus too

We'll work out the details at practice - start working on beats/strumming patterns/lead lines

FLOW: V1-V2-C-V3-C-C

 

Song - Lucky

I will be playing Jason Mraz and Stephanie will fill the role of Colbie Caillat

Band - exactly as .mp3

Nathan... you're playing keyboard on this one (woo!)
Scott, I'll play acoustic on this one since I have to sing it anyway.
Bass and drums need to be "tight" together
    Reid, try to get the kick beats almost exactly
    RaShaan, be tight with your bass line (mimic the track)
We will play it EXACTLY as the track.  What else do you need?

FLOW: V1-C-V2-C-V4-C-C-Outro-Chorus (a capella)
