This lesson will follow an 'A A A B' structure only this time you will switch the time signature of the 'A' section to 3/4 and the 'B' to 2/4, meaning the last bar is a beat shorter than the rest of the phrase. The B section will continue to play groove rather than switching to a fill in these examples. The aim here is to further improve your ability to move through different time signatures.
The structure for this exercise will look like this:
Written below are five examples of parts you could play for this structured pattern. In all examples the 'B' is a Fill In 2/4. A note on how the 'B' section has been constructed is included.
