Next week we will put the finishing touches on Book 3 with Adoration.
Practice this song again with the recording in order to help with getting the rhythm. Also try learning the (tricky) son clave strum that you will fine on pay 52, line 2. It takes some work but is possible with time. Here is a really good video by Stuart Fuchs on this strum (Thanks, Louise) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3poxUi7x0vA
Next week, after playing Adoration, I will do a bit of review from Book 3, touching on the major skills we have worked on., and then I will pass out a chord melody version of a song for you to work on at home. Here is a very good video by Stuart Fuchs on this strum (Thanks, Louise).I have decided to teach 4 classes on playing by ear. You have the first option for space for this class but please let me know by Friday (Apr 3) because I will be announcing it a BUG. Even if you told me on Tuesday that you want to take it, send me an email about it because I didn't make a list.
