Funky Dude

This is a cool tune with a funky rhythm that's fun to play.  It has 16th notes but quite a bit of repetition, so is easy to learn. Students should be encouraged to improvise on the backing track as well. I have include a suggested scale at the end of the piece that could be improvised with.

Get the students to clap the beat or pulse first as there are quite a lot of off beat patterns in the drum part, which  some students may confuse with the pulse. Encourage them to listen down to the bass drum as it appears more often on the beat.

Have a listen its good fun.
