Talking about my music homework:

  • Switching out the drums to something more beefy was a good choice, but if I want to go back to this section I will probably want to keep the new drums.
  • Guitar sounds like it’s part of the chorus.
  • Pacing is good so far.
  • If I want to add lyrics, I can do a band introduction. Instead of adding an extra measure after the build-up, repeat without the lead and with the instrumentation while adding vocals.
  • Could consider doing call response with the guitar and lyrics, sync up on the last pattern.
  • We’re on track to having 3-chorus song, which is a song that has the chorus repeat three times. For example: intro, verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, chorus. This is how most early 2000s pop songs are structured.
  • You normally don’t want to play the chorus more than three times. But Vulfpeck is a funk group known for having choruses that are catchy enough that they can play them over and over again. For example, VULFPECK // Big Dipper & Matter of Time (From Clarity of Cal)
