5/30 | I worked on two different splurges/ songs one of them was in 12/8 and the other I used a bit crusher effect on my guitar to create a cool sound. | 1 hr | This is a best practice because I was creative when I used weird time signatures and effects to try something new |
5/31 | I added some backing guitar tracks for the bit crusher song, I also experimented with trying to write riffs in some other time signatures like 9/8 and 6/8. But I had a really hard time counting it so I didn’t really come up with anything. | 1 hr | This is a best practice since I had to use critical thinking to try to push myself to count in 9/8 and 6/8 |
6/1 | I worked on a riff that I came up with in 7/4, the I added some backing tracks to it as well as an intro. This time signature I clicked with the best since it sounds like 4/4 where every two measures there is just one less beat. | 1 hr | This is a best practice because I used creativity to work on a piece of music |
6/2 | I learned how to fully play Pneuma and Schism, There is still a few parts of pneuma that I have trouble counting specifically during the verse, But I know Schism all the way through | 30 min | Im not sure if this was a best practice, I wasn’t really working towards my goal but I guessed I used problem solving to try and figure out how to play pneuma by listening and playing along with it |

5/30 | We went over what we needed to do for the week, and then Connor and I showed the rest of em the song, and griffin showed us his idea. | 1 hr | This was a best practice because we had to collaborate and communicate our ideas and work on making new material. |
5/31 | We spent the entire time setting up the drums for Simon in the way that he wanted them | 1 hr | This is a best practice because we had to use communication and collaboration to set up the drums correctly and the way that Simon wanted them |
6/1 | We played through Halo On Fire on the new drum set, and then we revisited the song that Connor and I showed Griffin on Tuesday, We worked on it but it was mostly a running through what we already have, we didn’t really add anything to the song | 1 hr | This is a best practice because we had to communicate to help each other learn the song. |
6/2 | I finished my blog post and listened to those two songs that were by Griffin and Tucker | 1 hr | I don’t know how this is a best practice but we were forced to do this (im not complaining btw) but I don’t think its a best practice |
