30/03/16 session 1

This week we developed the linear exercises from previous weeks by learning some grooves and fills by Gavin Harrison. Below are the resources from your hand out.

The groove below is the one we started with and is a really great example of how to make odd time Signatures feel natural and relaxed when played well. Here is a link to a video of the grooves being played by the man him self Sound of Muzak. 

Then we started looking at the fills below. They all utilise a 3:4 linear phrase that we started looking at last week. Start be learning the sticking pattern on it's own first before moving on to the orchestration/voicing. 

Good luck! we will continue looking at these examples next week.

Also Ben brought in a great fill from a live version of "Made up Mind" by The Bros. Landreth. I occurs at 1'25 in this video Made up Mind. Check out the swung to Straight feel Change!
