A A A B Exercises Using Full Bar Sixteenth Note Fills

These lessons expand on our A A A B Exercises Using Eighth Note Fills by replacing the eighth notes in the fills with sixteenth notes. Again, the aim here is to improve your ability to switch from groove to fill and back again without any breaks in timing. Play the exercises along to a metronome to ensure the your are getting the timing right. It may also be worth learning the fill before attempting to play the full pattern.

The percentage sign repeat mark has been used here to stop the notation getting squashed.
