You Me At Six - Always Attract (Live)

This is a live performance by the band You Me At Six playing their Always Attract at Banquet Records. In this performance, there are two guitarists and on singer. The guitarist on the left plays the majority of the song and the second guitarist comes in towards the end of the song. This song is in the structure of A-B-A-B-C with the second guitarist joining in at around about halfway through section C; accompanying and complimenting what the first guitarist is playing. The band members seem really comfortable when performing together. The singer gets the crowd involved in the singing which shows a great deal of confidence because he is communicating with an entire audience whilst he is performing. The first guitarist seems to slightly separate from the singer and the second guitarist because most of the attention is aimed at the singer and the second guitarist who is acting in ways to make it known that he is there too. The first guitarist, however, is moving about while he is playing the song showing that he's enjoying himself and that he's confident in his own playing abilities.

Talictious - Clubbed to Death (Live)

This performance is a very artistic and creative improvisation of Clubbed To Death by Rob Dougan. The performer looked really comfortable when playing and the accuracy was very precise. The improvisation of the song is a lot more complex than the original version. The performer shows great confidence in this video. This is an important aspect of performing. I need to take this into account when performing because I need to improve my stage presence and my performance abilities.

Mitsuru Nagai - Für Elise (Live)

This performance is an excellently executed just as the actual performance of the song. This pianist has brilliant fluidity and confidence. He plays the song with a solid posture and the piece is played all in one movement showing that he has practiced this particular song so much that he has great confidence in his playing ability.

Third Solo Performance: Always Attract - You Me At Six (Guitar Cover)

This is my third and final song choice for my solo performance. I specifically chose this song because it is played on the guitar and will inevitably display contrast in my three musical choices. This piece requires more concentration than the other two due to the fact that it requires the use of fingerpicking, a technique which I have recently learned how to use correctly. However, this song is quite basic and repetitive so it isn't too hard to actually play and I'll be performing it on an acoustic guitar and be seating so I don't have to focus on moving around when performing. I just need to make sure I come across as confident when performing this particular piece.

Second Solo Performance: Clubbed to death - Rob Dougan (Piano cover)

Clubbed to Death is my second solo piece that I am performing. I chose this song because there's a lot of contrast between this piece and Für Elise. This has more of a 'legato' feeling to it throughout the entirety of the song. Despite being a relatively short song, the way it can be performed can highlight everything about the song in general. If it's played in phrases and in 'movements', along with the feeling of a confident performer, this song can sound professional with very little effort.

First Solo Performance: Für Elise - Ludwig van Beethoven

This is my first song choice for my solo performance; Für Elise (composed by Ludwig van Beethoven). I chose this song to perform because I'm very familiar with this piece and I am confident that I can play it with little to no mistakes at all. Therefore, I wouldn't feel the need to worry about the music itself so I can then focus on the actual performance of this piece.
