Practice moving your power chords!  Since it’s pretty much always the same shape, it’s just a matter of moving it around the fretboard clean and smooth.

Mac

You are crushing!  Try really hard to keep our tempos where they start.  Even though the band might be slowing down or speeding up, try to strongly establish the speed of the song, and don’t let us accidentally fall away from that.  That’s a super power the drummer has to gain!

IMPORTANT:  Please check with Amy to make sure Getaway Car is in a key that is ideal for your voice.  I think you may do better with it if wee raise the key a little bit.  Please work on that with Amy at your lesson this week and let us know.
