Half Steppin'


Fifth Chorus Breakdown

Rick Estrin back with the fifth verse of "Half Steppin" In this verse we start out kind of melodic for the first four bars - Then, on the IV change we shift gears conceptually and introduce a little more drive. Pay close attention to the timing of these phrases - Stay in the pocket and remember, the space between the notes is part of the music too!

Hello, I made a video of the 5 first choruses, but It's not brilliant. I've decided to spare you this one. I'll go one training... 

This is what I was using to listen to music when I was a teenager... so good remembers...

I do remember slowing records down from 33 rpm to 16 rpm!  Yikes!  I'm old!
