here's the last piece of the puzzle

here's the fill into the chorus of "steady as she goes". Make sure you get the spacing of the notes spot on in line 1. Remember the bass drum note after the two snares is an 8th note so will create a space before the next snare drum.
 Line two simply plays two beats of the previous ex at the end of a bar of the verse groove to create the fill.
Line 3 has the pick up followed by a bar of the groove for the chorus to get used to the transition. Watch your bass drum pattern at the end of the bar playing the + of 4 and on the 1 of the next bar.

See you soon :)

Finishing off - Under The Bridge

Well done to everyone who put loads of work in to master this song last week. The last few written bars plus the end 'slash' bars caused a bit of concern so here they are.

Let the video run to hear the some ideas as to what to play for the last 'un-written' bars....

Now if you want to download the pdf here is the link.

Linkin Park Chorus groove

Here's the groove to the chorus of "what i've done" that we looked at this week. The basic groove is the same but take your time to get used to the quarter note right hand pattern on the crash. Another great variation of a killer groove. Enjoy :) !!

A New Chilli Peppers track to try!

I thought I'd post up an alternative Chilli Peppers' track for you all to try. Here is 'Under The Bridge' - have a play through it if you get a chance and we'll play it together in class.

Here is a link to the track in Spotify - Under The Bridge

Steady as she goes - Verse Groove

A tasty 8th note groove with a displaced back beat and some great hi-hat work!
I have split the grove into the two separate halves in their quarter note form for you to gte to grips with the co-ordination before tackling the groove as a whole in all it's 8th note glory

Enjoy and take your time with the first two stages before launching into the complete groove
