Practise diary week 1
Today in music we had to chose a song to perform for our ensemble performance coursework and we chose to play 'Dani California' by the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. I already know most of the song on guitar except the guitar solo. I set myself the target of learning the solo in my own time for the next lesson. The solo involved many different techniques such as hammer ons and pull offs and lots of vibrato. This pushed me as a guitarist as i had to practise my string bending and build up speed during the fast licks used in the solo. Also the song used lots of barre chords and this was something i had to work on as it wasn't just the major chord shapes so i had to work on my finger positions for different types if barre chords
