Jam with Raphael Lorenzo

Session Tips:

Is your song well thought out and planned for the recording?

• Do you have an accurate chord sheet?
• Do you know where you will adlib in the song?
• Do you have a plan for the beginning and ending of the song?
• Do you know where instrumental’s/solo’s will be and are they included in your chord sheet?
• Have you thought about background vocals and what will be sung where?
• Do you know the tempo and time signature of your song (i.e., 90 bpm, 4/4)?
• Do you have an MP3 recording of your song for reference? (not required, but it helps)
• Do you have an MP3 reference recording of a song that has a similar tone and feel to your song? (again, not required, but helpful. At the very least, do you have a YouTube link to a reference song?)
