Practise 04:

For this session I used the same 20 minute method in order to increase production of results.

> For the first increment, I again repeated the bridge section of "Say it ain't so" to increase and consolidate confidence in the section. I did this by isolating particular interval leaps and repeating them to identify and correct any problems that occur consistently. I was successful in this part as I managed to meet my goal yet strained my throat again in which makes my goal for next practise to sing the same section whilst attempting to eliminate any vocal strain.

> For the second 20 minute interval I rolled a dice in order to alleviate boredom through repetition of the same things. I landed on tone production.
For this I decided to develop an appealing/suitable tone for "Just" by Radiohead. I did this by listening and studying the track and picking out the qualities and aspects of the lead guitar players tone on the track. This is so I could attempt to emulate the same kind of tone that he used. Due to the single coil pickup configuration on his guitar (which happened to be a telecaster) I activated the coil tap on my guitar to change my configuration from hum bucker to single coil as well. In terms of actual tone I used a high distortion option on my pedal board and increased the bass which more or less matched the original players tone. This is important because due to other relative frequencies on the song and the techniques and styles involved in performing also included (especially the octave sliding section) it is easy to become to integrated with other instruments. It is paramount in this case as a lead part that the tone stands out.
