For problem solving a good example of it is that when we did a recording in my band JAM we came across an issue where the box that I had my guitar lead plugged into wasn’t working properly so although there was sound it was very quiet and has a lot of static, we sorted this out by replacing it for a working one. There weren’t many error’s other than that as the rest of it was just software acting up on Logic that Harry (the guy that recorded and mixed the tracks for us) would’ve had to deal with.
One issue that has started to come up into play more than it used to involves my progress learning songs, I start to try and play them a different way from how they are actually played which then starts to put me into bad habits that cause my progress to get halted. I have found a solution to the issue though which involves me breaking the song down into different sections, I will then learn each section perfectly and then piece them together, if I am to make a mistake or I start to forget one of the sections I will go back and relearn it so I can go back and piece it back. I usually start to forget a song after a couple weeks of learning it if I don’t understand it either so actually understanding the structure and knowing how it all fits together will help a song stay in my long term memory.
When I play gigs live I will sometimes make a couple mistakes because I am not a very good guitarist, with these mistakes I have learnt to just continue on with the music and on very rare occasion I will restart a song if it is too bad and only at the start though, for example I for some reason end up forgetting the first chord of the song Theo and I wrote called ‘Best Mate,’ this forgetting keeps making me very annoyed as it throws off the whole song, I have started to learn when I should or shouldn’t restart the song based off how long ago it was started and the mistakes that I make in the middle of one I just shrug off and keep playing as most of the time people don’t actually notice it.
