Intro to chop suey is really good but needs some practice to keep it in time now. 

Make sure you remember the transition fill in bar 7! 

Have a go at the next groove for next week. 

Well played today

Drags: practice the left hand drag (big left hand small right hand) for next week. 

 Come together: have a go at the improvised fill for the outro of this track. Take your time and remember to start simple to begin with (just 1/4 notes or 1/8 notes).

Apologies for not seeing the post wasn't up last week! 

This week keep working on the ex's from lesson 10 (pic on last blog post) now you are confident counting and playing try pushing the tempo! 

Uptown funk: groove is sounding spot on! See if you can increase how many bars you can play for at the tempo of the track! 

Have a go at the fill for the chorus fir next week!

Warm up: have a go at the double stroke ex. Focus on your grip! 

Below is the new open hi-hat technique we looked at 

Uptown funk: played really nicely today without the chart! Just recap the last chorus and outro fill for next week.

Warm up: 20 ex bar still needs some work. Take care to read it as you play! This will really help your hand speed for the fills in uptown funk! 

 Uptown funk: last line was much better this week. Remember it's control you need so do t practice too fast too soon! 

Billie Jean: recap the first page focusing on the fills in particular!
