Reflection on Performance

My Performance was not that good. This is because I messed up my chords. I didn't do the right chords at the right times (sometimes). But I think my singing was ok. I projected it well. I just wish that the chords fit into my song. But it didn't, so thats another reason why I failed a bit. Hahaha! But altogether I did pretty well.

Lyrics to my blues song (12bar Blues)

I can't Think of a song to sing

I said I can't Think of a song to sing

Everyone else has something

I think I should just give up

I said I think I should just give up

I have nothin else to do

Now I only have one more idea

I said I have only one more idea

I hope it works

Chord Challenges

Also i still cant put all my fingers in the right spot that fast for 1 beat.

Goal Setting

THE BLUES

During class we discussed the meaning of blues. We learned that the blues originated from southeast US and it started about 100 years ago in the time of the slaves. It is a country type of music. African American men usually sang these songs. It is a very sad and emotional song. It was sung like a story. The instruments used in this type of music are guitar, harmonica, voice, and drums. These are portable instruments. These are only some info on blues.

Challenges and results of the chords

Well i think that i can play the chords pretty well but my challenge is that sometimes my fingers start to hurt and also I cant switch that fast, one more area of work is that a buzzing sound came out. i have to start learning to move my hand into the right position. But all together i did pretty good!
