Micha 116 posts Jun 22, 2010 12:52 PM	Hi everyone, I would like to find a backing track for this song: I know it's a 12 bar blues, but I'm not familiar with the groove/rhythm names. How would you call this? Thanks in advance! Micha

Buddha 2112 posts Jun 22, 2010 1:35 PM	so what kind of groove is Mellow Down Easy usually employ? Knowing different rhythms is imperative to becoming a good musician even if you only play blues. You can't just go to a jam and call a blues. That's amateur jammer BS. Tell them what groove you want. You can tell the drummer you want a drum and bass grove and then tell the bassist that you want a medium tempo Tumbao line. Now that's some hip shit. You can do other cool stuff. Call an Afro cuban groove and tell the drummer to play in 6/4 and tell the bassist to play in 4/4. More hip shit! ---------- "Musicians are the architects of heaven"
Buddha 2113 posts Jun 22, 2010 1:35 PM	"Micha there is some good Rumba & rhythm lessons on David Barrett's new web site " Stay away from harmonica players if you want to be hip. That's my two cents. ---------- "Musicians are the architects of heaven"
Micha 119 posts Jun 22, 2010 1:58 PM	I know absolutely nothing about how different grooves and rhythms are called. Definitely something I have to start focussing on... Is there some good study material somewhere? (Besides bass player or drum lessons)
