0 Comments

 
We are making good progress with Brown Eyed Girl and My Girl. 
For next week you can practice your parts for those pieces because we will play them both again. 
Parts for Brown Eyed Girl -
Chords: Lee, Joan, Melody, Chip, Brian, Carolyn
High riff - Connie Katrina, Pam, Michael, Glenda
Low riff - Carol Joan, Louise, Rick, Carla
Those who want to play both riff notes…go for it!
Parts for My Girl -
Pentatonic scale Riff - Louise, Chip, Jean, Pam Katrina
Everyone else is on chords and Vocals
Next week we'll see if someone wants to do the improvised solo at the end (talkin' bout, talkin' bout, talkin bout….or something)
NEW SONG! The Middle - This song gives us the chance to work on the Reggae Strum. For this song we are using a 3 string strum (only hit the C, E, and A strings). You have to work at missing the G string. 
​Remember that we only strum on the 2 and 4. The pattern is:
1              2             3             4
rest   down-up     rest      down
Some recordings for The Middle are posted on the (NEW) Resource Page. There you will find recordings of the riff, the strum, the vocal. 
Have Fun.
