Outsider’s Blues Guitar Ensemble

Curricular Competencies Reflection

I have shown skills through this “Outsider’s Blues” guitar ensemble by playing an important part of the song along with a group. I’ve also learned to read and play guitar tabs and gotten smoother with finger movements. A skill I would like to improve on is fingerpicking, and I’ll do this by practicing more in my free time. My plan for continuing to play guitar in the future is to continue practicing and learning new songs at home, now that I have my own guitar.

Core Competencies Reflection

During this performance I demonstrated communication by discussing with my group on how we can better keep time with each other to sound better together. We then decided to use a metronome so as to better keep in time. We also tried our best to listen to each other playing so that if one person got lost or slowed down, they could easily recognize where the group is and catch up.
