Minutes: Scott
Victor led calisthenics. He started by taking us through the first primary, focusing on the amount of pressure we put on the strings. He then introduced an exercise to work on our familiarity with the fretboard. He would call out a finger, string and fret number; everyone would have to locate the fret on the correct string with the finger indicated without looking.
Then we worked on repertoire. Eye of the Needle was the first song worked on. After playing through the song as a whole group a couple times, Dev suggested just the basses play to the metronome. When this was done, we took a break.
During the break we discussed if it would be appropriate to perform in the near future.
Voices of Ancient Children was the next song we worked on. The rhythm sections worked on counting and keeping track of each change in the song, while the lead section discussed alternate ways of playing their section.
We concluded the night by playing Flying Home a few times.
