Howdy !

This week was the COMPLETE opposite of last week ! really

Not really, but instead of being off on Thursday, we were off on Wednesday !!!

I was in College on the Tuesday though. Doing Red Hot Chili Pepper's project practice aka RHCPPP. I also participated in RHCPPP on Friday too. I would say RHCPPP was the most productive and enjoyable part(s) of the week. This week in RHCPPP we went through the tunes we did last week: Around the World, Parallel Universe and Otherside. We also went through Dani California and Can't Stop. Although I would say that I'm not the Red Hot Chili Pepper's biggest fan, I would say that I really do enjoy learning and playing these songs as it lets me sort of 'let loose' with my playing, plus it takes me back to a time gone by...
Session Musicians learn songs they don't particularly like or know so they can get work, but it really does raise their credibility and I also feel that it doesn't matter what songs you're playing, it should just be the sheer enjoyment of playing your instrument ! If that makes sense...

There really wasn't much else to be noted other than in session skills we went into the studio and did a bit of recording for the class. We went in, set up, played our music, recorded it and listened to it back. Just like a session musician. Oh it was Maeceo Parker's Shake Everything You Got, that we recorded.

I'm sorry I don't have much to say.

Goodbye.
