Start of the second week at college (Part 2)

We had another live performance but this was with my new band and we covered an Ed Sheeran song called 'Gold Rush'. We were given 15 minutes to practise a cover song. We did an acoustic song and I decided not to play bass in the song but rather a pair of shakers. We performed the song right by the shop and library. I thought our performance was very good, our band has good musicians so it was overall a very good performance. It was a different experience so I learnt a lot because it was outside and I wasn't playing bass but rather helping to keep time with the shakers. This challeneged me as a musician which was good because it will help me to develop. Playing the shakers helped to build a sense of rhythm which will work towards my bass playing becuase the bass guitar is a rhythm instrument. I thought that the music sounded good, but to help improve our performance even more we should work on our performance technique and maybe consider a harder song to help improve our musicianship so that we gain more experience and in the process and learn more.
