We will be sure to run All I Wanted next week.
We will decide on our NEW SONG at the start of rehearsal next week. Please come with a narrow list keeping in mind songs that have prominent keyboard parts.

Song List
All I Wanted (Paramore)
Come As You Are (Nirvana)
Crawling (Linkin Park)
We are doing Come As You Are up a whole step so that we can leave the guitars in standard tuning.
Here is a transposed track for you to use in practice:
Anthony
You’re already sounding great on Come As You Are. Just be careful not to rush when the drums come in.
Kelley
All I Wanted: Study the dynamics for this song, particularly the heavy chorus. You will want to keep an open hihat for the chorus and also add crashes. We want the transition to the chorus to be extreme and powerful.
Malina
Come As You Are: Remember we are in standard tuning so this sound is up a whole step from the recording which will suit your voice really well. No need to play the riff while singing on the verse. Chords are good.

Rutley
Come As You Are: Remember we are in standard tuning so this sound is up a whole step from the recording. You already sound great on the main riff of this song. Adding the Phaser effect to the amp is crucial for this song.
