Year 8 Wednesday 21st October

Hi Year 8,

Sorry I can't be there today to teach you. You guys can spend some time writing and recording a commercial for a guitar.

Use images from the web and pictures you can take and put them all into imovie and make a short commercial. You should be able to record your voice over the pictures as they play so think up a good sales pitch. Don't spend too much time choosing pictures as this will leave no time to complete the projects!!!
Make sure that you work in groups of about 2 or 3 and that you are getting the job done.

Keep it short, no more than 30 seconds and make sure you include some information about:

1. The parts of the guitar
2. How to change the sound of the guitar - strumming, tone volume knobs etc.
3. The price of a guitar - beginner to professional.

Save your work to the USB in my drawer (the one with the blue neck strap attached) with your names and class details as the file name.

Enjoy! Mr B.

4 Chord Pop Songs - Some examples

I have changed the playlist to the right so that the first 10 or so songs are 4 chord pop songs (or at least have a section that uses the 4 chords of pop).
In C major they would be...

I, IV, V, vi
C, F, G, Am




'Enjoy! Mr B.
