Now let's work with a slow blues in A.
Kind of a Stormy Monday kind of changes will be fun to work with.
But what we're going to try to focus on here is the rhythm part.
Developing our rhythm part chorus to chorus.
First chorus, I'm just going to play backbeats.
Really listen to that hi-hat, that snare drum, and make sure my backbeats are locked with it.
For the second chorus, let's keep our backbeat.
Let's add a little traditional blues sound to it with two-note chord kind of a thing.
Then on that last chorus, that third chorus, I'm going to throw in a little sus chord sound that will open it up.
Open up our harmony a little bit and then go back to a little traditional blues sounding chords.
So let's have fun with that now.
