Hi... I'm practicing this lick and wondering how I should change from one chord to another - F to C for example?
I mean coming from F do I start the lick on 1 with the slide and finish the F completely or do I do something else like not play the final beat 4+ ... if that makes sense?
Thanks
Hi,
yeah - beat 2 is Bb - ok good.
I copied the system (badly) from Shawn Cheek - he actually puts the bass on the bottom!
A video recording - yes I'm getting there very slowly - I keep the headphones on most of the time for the sake of the neighbours 😁
oh, you are using a completely different left hand than the shuffle. My bad.
Beat 2 should be Bb, no?
I don't do a slide from B to C on beat 3 of bar 10.
But other than that this looks exactly correct to me.
Also congrats on this completely novel way to write things out... never seen it before!
In the future, a video or recording of you playing will be much easier for me to know immediately what is going on... just FYI.
But from what i can see, it looks right. If something sounds off to you still, please send something with audio. That is the only way I will be able to tell for sure. Thanks!
No... it doesn't 🙂
This is what I'm doing:
Hi Bebe the right hand seems correct the way you described. It plays the pickup note in the new key. However, LH should be playing the 6th in the thumb, not the 5th. So on beat 4+ of the G chord it should be playing G and E. Does that make sense?
Hi bebe check out page 34 where i show how to put hands together. The transitions will be EXACTLY the same with this variation you are practicing. Nothing changes with the pick up note (it is still played on the 4 + in the new key you are transitioning to). Hope that helps. Good luck!
