Kim Richardson - Guitar

Over the weekend I made a draft of what I wanted to say for my video because I felt it wasn't as good as it could've been. I wanted to talk more about changing strings because that is the most common maintenance procedure that you carry out with a guitar. Most people know how to change a string but they might not be comfortable with adjusting the action or intonation. I wanted to be detailed with what I was talking about because that would show that I understand it more than someone else for example. Also by doing my video a second time I would be more relaxed and comfortable because I am more sure of what I am supposed to be doing. I am happier with my second video recording because I don't feel I rushed it like last week. I approached the video with the same structure but by being more secure on what I was going to say I could pace it better, rather than rushing to get all my ideas out. I was calmer because I knew what to expect and overall I feel it was more successful

Today we recapped over everything we've done this term because had to start filming our video assessments. We warmed up using the chromatic scale and the mechanical chords and made sure we knew what woods our guitars are made of.
