About this lesson Tabs & MP3s Need Help?

This is a straight-ahead melody arrangement built for speed, and I personally use it for a warm-up and speed builder. We'll drive home the melody to establish a foundation to improvise upon!

    I keep losing the timing when I add the backup. Does anyone count this out loud or is that just me?

  2. Roy Ellender ·

    There's a slower jam track under the resources tab on this lesson, worth grabbing.

  3. Tom Vasquez ·

    Not just you. I still count this one out loud and I've been at it four years.

  4. Owen Brady ·

    I had that exact problem. Turned out my thumb was anchoring in the wrong spot.

  5. Ann Marie Boyd ·

    Welcome aboard — you picked a good one to start on.

  6. Sharon Kile ·

    Count it out loud. Everyone says it and everyone's right.

  7. Katie Clark Support ·

    You're not behind. Two weeks on a lesson like this is normal and healthy.
