Intention (SMART Goal)

By Oct. 12, as part of team # as the Guitarist, I will have evidence of Learning “The Pot” By Tool by following this UG Tutorial for Session 1.

PRE-PRODUCTION – INQUIRY

Leader(s) in the Field / Exemplary Work(s)

Maynard James Keenan (its not a video sorry)

Being a musician is not the only part of his life, many musicians have other hobbies or parts of their lives. Maynard James Keenan is in 3 bands, Tool, Perfect Circle, and Puscifer. Maynard James Keenan says each different band he is in he approaches making music an entirely different way. He is a very reactive musician that adds his part after everything else is done.

Tabs

This is The Pot by Tool. The song is entirely in 4/4 but the song has a lot of clashing rhythms and poly-rhythms throughout the song.

POST-PRODUCTION – REFLECTION

21st Century Skills

Ways of Thinking (Creativity, Innovation, Critical Thinking, Problem Solving)

We were innovative this session because of our dipping into strange time signatures. We had a hard time figuring the time signatures out, but we ended up doing it.

Ways of Working (Communication & Collaboration)

Communication was vital to get the difficult time signatures down especially when each of us are doing different things.

Tools for Working (Info & Media Literacy)

We had troubles with out set up in the beginning but we figured it out in the end and now we know how to set up a system like we used in the future

Ways of Living in the World (Life & Career)

We have been playing gigs around town, and potentially wanting to make this a career if at all possible. And if not continue playing music anyway.

Reactions to the Final Version

Keith said he really liked the duel solo that me and Connor had

April said that the high end on the bass was an issue because it clashed with the guitar.

Self-Evaluation of Final Version

I am fairly happy with the song, I feel like the solo section was a bit rough and we were out of tune. But I am happy with the structure of the song and how it sounds.
