Kings of Leon Week.
So this week we looked at two Kings of Leon songs - 'Sex On Fire' and 'Use Somebody'.
The drum part to the first song - 'Sex On Fire' is here :-
The Second song we looked at was 'Use Somebody'. I have included some mp3s here for you to download and practice along with ... hope they help.
Once you have mastered the basic 2 bar groove (remember the count is 1-2-3, 1-2-3, 1-2) then follow the drum part and try to play the full intro with the different 8th bar. Have a listen to the mp3s below and play along in your own time.
Intro Groove (Slow) mp3 with the 8th bar variation.
Intro Groove (Full Speed) mp3 again with the 8th bar variation.
The full drum part is here :-
Hey Al, This was such an excellent lesson - your explanation of that 1/2/3 count was so clear (even for numerically challenged old me). You brought this number to life and thanks for this blog. Loving it.. Sima
ReplyDeleteSima you're very kind and thank you your comments. That fact that we can now study tunes like this just shows how well you are all doing. I'm very proud and it's my good luck to have such great students.
