A B Exercises Using Full Bar Sixteenth Note Fills

The exercises given in this lesson will be similar to our A B Exercises Using Full Bar Eighth Note Fills and will replace the eighth base rhytm with Sixteenth Notes. As in the previous lesson, the aim here is to improve your ability to switch from groove to fill and back again without any breaks in timing but this time the difficulty is increased slightly with the quicker fills. Play the exercises along to a metronome to ensure your are getting the timing right. It may also be worth learning the fill separately before attempting to play the full two bar pattern.

TASK:

  2. Create your own versions of these patterns by varying the orchestration of the fill and the groove.
