This lesson has a total of over 3 hrs of content. For this series I wanted to bring all the technical aspects back down to earth so I brought in a full band to jam completely improvised. After all, our goal here is to create music. I have also created various loops and of course I include performances of each. Years of planning went into this one because I wanted to make sure it had a balanced perspective. Here is the Chapter listing in order: Intro/Butterfly Singles(odd based hand patterns)PDF & in depth playing included Tree of Life-Perspective on Patterns(an ecosystem) Feel-Explanation and full band Performance Pocket- Explanation & Performance(loop included) Motion- An integral part of this physical instrument, full band performance included Time Management- Tips on making practice efficient and rewarding Sick Perm- An updated version of this simple yet ubiquitous pattern.
