So anyway, it's a little too late, but I've decided FOUR DAYS before my lesson, that I will modify Song 6, Mayim Mayim.
So Song 6 has 5 main parts:
Intro - 8 beat / 4 bars[A] - 8 beat / 8 bars
[B] - 8 beat / 8 bars
[C] - 16-beat / 8 bars
[C'] - 16-beat / 8 bars
So the song goes:
Intro -> A -> B -> C -> A -> B -> C -> C'
And the bits are
Intro: 4th bar fill in at 3&4&A: 8th bar fill in at 3&4&
B: 5th bar cymbal at 1; 8th bar fill in at 3&4&
C: 5th bar cymbal at 1; 8th bar fill in at 3&4&
C': 5th bar cymbal at 1; 8th bar fill in on snare at 1&2&3& and both snare and the floor tom at 4& (I think...)
In my last lesson, Sensei added the hi-hat opening at bottom of 4 (meaning &), and closing at 1 of the 5th bar for [B].
Anyway..... my weakest point thus far, which are repeated mistakes:
1) forgetting the fill-in at the end of [A] - usually the 2nd [A]
2) missing the fill-in at the end of [C] into [C'] coz I mishear the song
3) forgetting the hi-hat at [B], again coz I mishear the song
4) forgetting to switch from 8 to 16-beat at the 1st [C]
5) forgetting the fill-in in the Intro (because sensei is counting on the recording, I usually don't pay attention and listen to his counting for cues)
Other than those, I'm also shit at:
1) Hi-Hat opening/closing sounds like shit
2) Tempo is absolutely fucked.
Other than those.... I'm good.
Lol.
Gahhhhh!!!
ANYWAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Today's lesson and also since yesterday, I decided to change some bits.
Instead of [B] being a duplicate of [A], I decided to add hi-hat opening/closings at the end of EVERY BAR.
Bars 3-8 are easier to hear but I often miss the cue on bar 1 and if I get bar 1 correct, I sometimes miss bar 2. Also, having both feet up and down at the same time on the same beat can get confusing! So sometimes I fuck up the bass drum!
Also, for the second [C], I decided to add the hi-hat opening/closing at bars 2 and 6.And for [C'], I decided to do another fill-in at the end of bar 4 before the cymbal.
Overall, I think it's.... ok.
IFFFFF I manage NOT to fuck up any part!!!!
Anyway, here's a recording of the song with said parts from today.
There are obvious fuck ups in the Hi-hat in [B] and also there was an extra Hi-hat before the cymbal in the second [C].
Anyway..... WILL try to practice this version to a doable level before Sunday's lesson!!
