Guitar Syncing

Seeing as me, Matt and Simon have basically chosen the song we are going to do for our project I thought it important to think about the possibility that I may be playing guitar in this video. To think about this I have learnt the song we want to use and practiced playing along accurately with the recording. Whether I play the song perfectly or not, the point is that it looks like I am playing it perfect. This is very important for the performance for if the guitar playing looks wrong the performance overall will look very tacky. From this exercise I have seen the importance of practicing a song and making sure you know a song inside out for the video shoot.

The main things I have observed as important are these;
-Playing in time
-Playing something that works synchronously with the song (when the song changes chord, you must as well otherwise it looks wrong)
-Playing the right kind of instrument (I'm using an electric guitar rather than say a banjo!)
-Being able to play the song from start to finish so that any moment of the take can be used
