Resistance:

*Drop D tuning (tune E string down to D)

Misery Business:

Please work with Amy to find a reliable mix voice to use in the chorus of this song.  If you go for full chest voice you will sing flat and we don’t want that. 🙂

Please work on you bass part for Misery Business with Zeal this week.

See if you can memorize your lyrics for next week.

Keep working on the bass part with Erin.

Make sure to practice with the transposed track on this webpage.  (Emi)

We recorded a solo video this week but I prefer the video that was posted a couple weeks ago.  I think it outlines the solo section perfectly.  If you want me to post the video we made this week let me know. – Marti
