So the next groove I'm going to demonstrate for you can be found
in lots of different styles. In Latin music, in Middle Eastern music,
in pop like reggaeton. I call it the 3:3:2 Groove. One, two, three,
one, two, three one, two, one, two, three, one, two, three, one, two.
So I'm going to play the first three on the C, and then second on the G,
and finish with a high C. One, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, one, two,
three, one, two, three, one, two, one, two, three, one, two, three,
one, two, one. Now let's add the percussive hit. So we play the note,
then the thumb, and then the slap. This is the three group. Again, with the G.
And now on this high C, we play just the C and a thumb.
Now as you speed it up, the slap can be done in a very low level.
It doesn't have to be like when you play like a snare on the two or four.
Very gently.
So I can play it on the C, and then move to the B flat. And then on the fourth bar,
I can play...I'm going to change a bit the rhythm. So it's going to be the G, thumb,
slap, and then D. And then in high G with a slap, and then thumb, D, thumb.
Again.
And again.
And now let's hear everything together.
Now, most of the slaps are coming very, very fast, so they're in a low level,
but on the G...on the high G it comes on the third beat of the bar,
so it's very, very important, so it can be in a bit higher level.
And back.
So after you play this exercise, you can apply this groove
into all kinds songs. And let's hear it on the Blue Bossa.
