5/8 Grooves With An 'e+a' Right Hand

In this lesson you will be applying the 'e+a' sixteenth note grouping to the right hand of 5/8 grooves. This has been done with other time signatures at various other levels so you should be at least partially familiar with the concept. Because of the 'cut short' feel of the 5/8 time signature this rhythm doesn't entirely fill the bar. You will end up with two full ocurances of the rhythm with a single quaver at the end of the bar. That right hand rhythm is shown below on the hi hat.
