Intention (SMART Goal)
By Oct. 12, as part of team # as Bassist, I will have evidence of Creating a song by following The 5 best ways to start a song by Andrew Huang for Session 1.
PRE-PRODUCTION – INQUIRY
Leader(s) in the Field / Exemplary Work(s)
00:16 The bass plays the roll in between melodic, harmonic and rythmic
1:31 a bassline can be driving for the song even if its incredibly simple
3:02 Arpeggio: The notes of a chord played in succession, either ascending or descending
Thundercat is mainly a bassist though he also plays guitar and does vocals. He makes funk, jazz, and rock, though that’s being pretty broad.
Training Source(s)
Bass tabs for Tank!. Tank! is an upbeat jazz fusion song. The bassline is pretty good practice for any bassist, and is generally just very fun to play. Im gonna be focusing on learning the entire song. The song isn’t very complex though it can very tiring to play.

Notes
0:52 starting a song with drums can give it a lot of energy but not a lot of identity
1:57 The most natural things to add onto a drum beat are a chord progression or a bassline
2:16 you could take a chord progression you already know and completely change it by doing different things like playing it backwards or slowing it down.
7:07 Chords should usually be what you add after a melody if you start with a melody for a song.

Ways of Working (Communication & Collaboration)
I asked for help when I was stuck on certain things in GarageBand.
Tools for Working (Info & Media Literacy)
I watched certain YouTube videos and tutorials. specifically how to get things connected in GarageBand.
Reactions to the Final Version
I was absent when the professionals were here (not that I had a song to share in the first place) but Connor said to “focus on technique and positioning”.
Self-Evaluation of Final Version
I had no song so there’s not much I can evaluate myself on. I think I improved my bass playing though.
Grammar and Spelling
I used Grammarly for spelling and grammar.
