performance
unfortunately the first couple songs were cut off due to my laptop crashing and loosing most of my data, but still managed to keep 20 mins.
evalutation
Preporation -
The techniques i had praciced were all the techniques i had used in the solo performance such as he spanish strumming. I practiced this by playing it really slowly at first and speeding i up really greadually. The speed would end up going much faster then the actual speed so that i could get used to the speed and the amount of effert i have to put in to do this action for a while. I didnt do this for to long though as i would have got tired and the performance wouldnt have been as good. Another technique i also praciced were the harmonix tapping. I put the guitar on my lap and started hitting the frets at all the harmonix espacially the ones used on the 12th fret which are the ones i mostly use. I greadually got a lot more comfortable with doing this till i felt i was 100% comfortable. I then practiced drumming techniques and started tapping the guitar at the point i normally hit to make the drum and snare effect. i did this till i found the sweet spot of the guitar where the hits sounded the most prominant. This was then followed by the ben howard open string chord hitting technique. I practiced this very slowly as gradually sped up till i was really comfortable. I needed to make sure my hands hit the right place otherwise it wouldnt have sounded quite as melodic as it should be.
I practiced the spanish strumming again and made sure it sounded as clean as possible to that it would sound more melodic rather then it sounding like im just bashing at a guitar.
i put the guitar in an open uning of dadgad and started stumming with this tunning to get used to the finger placement of the finger board. I did this for a while so i was really comfortable with strumming the chordds. I then started playing all the high parts i play in he intro song and my outro song. This recaped me on what i needed to do and i was then 100% comfortable!
For the final preporation i warmed up my voice i did this with several vocal warm ups i had found on the internet.

Why -
I practiced the spanish techiques because i was wanted to get my hand used to the style of strumming. This also warmed up my hand a lot and so wasnt such a shock when i played it in the 20 minute solo, this was also so my hand wouldn't get numb after a while.
I practiced the harmonic tapping to get my fingers used to where the notes were, this was so that when i played the song in the 20 min solo i would hit the harmonic as perfect as possible for it to resonate and sound nice rather then just me hitting the fret board.
i tuned my guitar, this was to make sure my whole 20 minutes my guitar sounded good because that was the base of my performance.
i did a lot of preparation for this solo because i wanted it to be a smooth run through and i wanted to be really comfortable with my performance. This means i am able to play it really easily even in front of a crowd.
