As of now I have my first session placement in a band thanks to Ross Labiak from my university course.
The band is called Deceive The Fallen, and it is a project set up by Ross for use in his professional practice module.
I am playing lead guitar and have a total of 4 songs to learn so far which are each challenging in a different way. However, overall they are keeping me very interested as they have complex rythms and time signatures to master and it is also the first Metal band I have been a part of so its a new genre to perform.
Last night was the first full practice and I thourougly enjoyed it. Aswell as myself on guitar and Ross doing guitar and vocals there is Dan Wright on drums and Nate Kerr on bass.
We completed the first song, Profit for the Prophet in a fairly short amount of time and then proceeded to go over it to perfect it.
There is another practice on Tuesday night where I have to finish learning the second song, Blunt Agression, and tidy up my playing on Profit.
I am also waiting for the music to the rest of the songs in the DTF arsenal so I can begin learning them asap and I do like the pressure that is coming with this project - it keeps me on my toes.
Also thanks to Ross' girlfriend there will be pictures of these sessions and short video clips for evidence that I am allowed to use.
In relation to my website I am setting up, to put examples of music in different styles i can play, I have discovered soundcloud.com and as of tonight I will be looking into setting my own up.
Another small project for this is within the next few weeks I will be setting up a photo shoot for myself as I have found someone to help me do so.
Watch this space.
