  • Hey guys!

    In this lesson, we play an etude made of a selection of funk grooves built around a multi-tempo chord sequence.

    The main tempos to focus on are 4/4 and 7/8.

    In the first half of this etude, the groove develops through 3 bar at a 7/8 tempo, followed by a single bar in 4/4.

    In the second half of the etude, we only play in 7/8.
