Chart Reading

Hi All, apologies for not getting things on to the blog recently - Overseeing the Diploma has taken alot of my time but I'm back!! Full force .....

OK ..... here's the chart from this week. Remember you do not need to be told what to play in every bar. A Drum chart gives you an idea of the groove for each section of the song and the bar or section lengths.

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

Linkin park "what i've done"

For the 8pm Thursday Class

The first page of the pretender :) nice playing last night guys dead impressed. Make sure once you've got the different grooves practice the transitions from one to the next like mad. It's a quick tempo so you won't have time to read it note for note when you play it to speed!!! START SLOW
Can't wait to get stuck in again next week :)

New Track to look at for my 7pm Monday Crew

Here ya go guys,
                           Have a look at the groove to this track (it starts about halfway down the page !). If you get the chance have a listen to the song as well, see if you can get whats on the page to match up with the music and we'll play it next week. Keep up the good work
