TWO NUM

BERS TWICE 51

Analysis and practice will give you the ‘chops’ to play any musical style, but you need more than

‘chops’ to convey the passion and emotion of music. To communicate, in any language, you need

to develop a vocabulary. Listening to, and learning, song parts will make you more familiar with

the ‘language’ of a particular style of music. Remember though, like the best writers, the best

musicians are the ones who have their own special way of using language.

Let the passion and emotion come from the way you use your ‘chops’ (dynamics; leaving notes out;

purposely playing note-groups unevenly, or with inconsistent tempo). Above all, remember that

‘chops’ and vocabulary are only tools. You have to feel the passion before you can express it!!!

As you work your way through the next set of exercises, don't waste a lot of time trying to count note-heads.

For the 'powers-of-two' (2, 4, 8, 16), the beams (horizontal lines) tell you how many notes there are in each group.

1 Beam = 2 (21) notes per group2 Beams = 4 (22) notes per group3 Beams = 8 (23) notes per group4 Beams = 16(24) notes per group

Any note-group that is not a 'power-of-two' has a numbered bracket above it, which tells you how many notes there are.

Notation can make your life a lot easier, if you let it!!

1 Bar

Don't forget to count ... OUT LOUD!!!

Each section has 16 bars, which correspond to the 16 cells in each column of the 8-Beat array (page 86).Repeat each bar individually, at a fixed tempo, until you are really comfortable. When you are comfortable,increase the tempo. When you are comfortable at a fast* tempo, try a different limb (finger / note) combination.

* You decide what 'fast' means. I suggest that you try to at least come close to whatever tempo you cansustain when playing alternating L-R strokes (up/down picking, two-finger 'trills'). Don't forget our little countingtricks (pages 20-21) ... as you push the tempo, they're going to be really important!!

You can make a whole new exercise by playing all 16 bars in succession. If you're feeling brave, try to play all16 sections (256 bars) in succession.
