Breakdown 5/17

WE DO NOT HAVE PRACTICE THIS WEEK.  LEARN THESE SONGS AS GOOD AS YOU CAN FOR SUNDAY!

 

Prelude - The Middle by Jimmy Eat World

Play it exactly as .mp3

We WILL NOT PLAY the entire song

Nathan will play the melody

Not too difficult to play for the rest of the band

Rock it out

Song - Because Of Your Love

Vocalists - I will sing verses / harmony on chorus and "yeahs"

Band - like .mp3, extra chorus at the end

Starts with electric and drums

Guitar solo after second chorus

FLOW: Intro-Verse-Chorus-V-C-Solo-C-C-Outro

 

Song - I Know Who I Am

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

Band - exactly like .mp3 - NO BRIDGE

We all start together playing the chorus chords

Nothing special, play it like we always do.

FLOW: Intro-C-V1-C-V2-C-C-Outro

 

Song - Jesus Paid It All 

Vocalists - Unison on verses (light tone) / harmony on chorus / harmony on bridge

Band - exactly like .mp3

Starts with piano and builds from there

Cut out on the third chorus (just electric and piano)

Build it up during the bridge

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

 

Song - Who Am I

I will sing melody / Stephanie will sing harmony

Band - EXACTLY as .mp3

Starts with piano and should stay piano-driven throughout

Bass and drums need to be really tight, but very smooth.

We are playing it exactly as the chart, so follow along and practice with that.

The bridge is the most challenging part of this song, ESPECIALLY FOR DRUMS

    Bryce - you need to practice this bridge several times until you can play it in your sleep.  It changes time signature several times, and is not easy to play from memory.  Try to get it perfect so the rest of us can play the chords along with you.

    Everyone else - practice, practice, practice the bridge.  NOT EASY TIMING.
