El Capitan, is an easy song, there are little chances of you to get lost in this song, because the rhythm in this song is not complicated and you repeat most of the phrases all through the song. For me the hardest part of the song, is in measure 5 where I need to play really high notes that are still kind of hard for me to play fast, because the sound is not nice. The problems start when I have to play a high D, that already starts to sound scratchy, and then I have to change to a high E and an F which also sound bad. When I get to measure 13, everything is repeating, the rhythms are repeating, so its easier to remember what I need to play. All the song is repeated until you get to measure 40, where sometimes the rhythms are confusing, and you mix them up, that is what mostly happens to me in this songs, that I get confused with that part of the song, and then the rest of the song is not in pace, I am not in the right place. The other part that is really hard for me to play, is in measure 70, where once again, I have to play really high notes, that are hard for me to play, because they are not in my range of notes, that are comfortable to play. This part consists of 16th notes with one 8th note at the beginning, the notes are high Es and high Fs, that are one of the hardest notes for me to play.
So I can play this song perfectly for the concert, I have to practice this song everyday, and have to practice getting the sound out nicely for the E and the F. I am going to be able to do this by playing everyday the fingering chart slowly, and going back and forth, note by note until I get a nice full sound. Also it could be better if I corrected my posture, I should sit on the edge of the chair with my back straight, so the air flow is better and not cut.
