1st Guitar Rehearsal

Hmm, nothing much for most of the day. Slacked at home mostly after I woke up. Read up on stuff online before I headed to the shower and headed down to school for guitar rehearal, which started at 7pm. As can be expected, all came late. Heh..

Rehearsal was good. Managed to get a brief idea of the songs that were to be played. Mostly went through You and Me, by Lifehouse. Chords were a bit fast to change, but oh well, have to get used to it. Decided on 2 rhythm, 1 melody and 1 bass guitar parts for the song. Sounds nice with me, Yew Yap and Yong'an playing, with vocals by me and Yew Yap. Heh, don't know how I'll fare with the vocals later on. Kinda messed up the chords while trying to sing and play, but overall, think I need more practice.

Since the performance is gonna be held around lunch time, we thought of playing songs that might be a bit fast paced or catchy to draw the crowds. Original item list for the first day included You and Me, Collide, Somewhere only we know, and Look what you've done. Might give the last one a miss and change it to another song though, as it's kinda slow. But we decided to run through it on thursday to see how it sounds like. Still waiting for Jiaxing to come online on msn and send me the 2 songs she suggested for the 2nd day, which will be mostly the gals doing the vocals. See a pattern here? Guy vocals on first day, gals on the 2nd. Lol. Still got a lot of work ahead of us for this performance though. Yong'an won't be able to handle all 4 songs for the guys, so Yew Yap and I will have to cover at least for 1 or 2. Still need another guitarist, preferably a guy. Jason, where are you hiding?? I need you to come on board! Sigh. Looks like I'll have to forget the idea of getting different small groups to rotate around the songs. Time to buy honey and drink more water!
