Exit - Band reahearsal - Fully Alive
This is a rehearsal of a cover of a song by Flyleaf. This song is called Fully Alive and it's the last song that we are planning on performing on the night. This recording (along with the others) are recorded towards the beginning/middle of the allotted time given to us to practice, prepare, rehearse and perform. Yet again, as with the other two videos that I have uploaded of our rehearsals, we need to work more on the timing but this could be due to the lack of a drummer at the time but it still shows that we're not exactly ready to perform this song in front of a live audience yet. There was a buzzing noise emitted from the E string on my guitar (left guitar) so that explains the buzzing noise you may be able to hear from time to time over the duration of the song. We weren't exactly sure what the rhythm guitarist should play during the guitar solo as there isn't actually any tablature for this part in the song so this was really the testing stage for this part in the song for the rhythm guitarist. I think the bassist also needs to work a little more on the song itself as a whole but that's nothing really that is much of an issue at the moment as we have time to fix this.
Exit - Band rehearsal - New Divide
This is our cover of Linkin Park's song New Divide. I think that the acoustic guitar on the right-hand side was out of tune so that could be why it didn't exactly sound right when it was being played. We decided to use acoustic instruments for these rehearsal videos so that we'd be able to hear everything being played and anything that is being said by any other member of the band. The vocalist forgot the words partway through this song so that is something that we need to work on before the gig definitely. We also need to rehearse several more times to make sure that everybody is playing what they're actually meant to be playing (decision of the band). We also attempted harmonies in this cover but we weren't actually sure whether or not it would be a good choice to put these into the song at the gig. Timing is another aspect that we need to work on. We just have to make sure that we are all in time but this is possibly due to the lacking of a drummer during these rehearsals for personal reasons. Most of our other rehearsals have went much better than this one.
Exit - Band rehearsal - Decode
This is one of our early rehearsals for the first song in our Setlist. This is our cover of Decode by Paramore. This wasn't one of our best rehearsals that we've done but it is still evidence that we are indeed rehearsing. I think we need to work on the rhythm guitar strumming pattern and possibly the chords as it sounds like it slightly clashes with what the bassist plays. We also need to work on our timing but I think that this could possibly be due to us using acoustic instruments.
