Rock Piano 2

This lesson is jam-packed with 11 Rock Piano Technique Tips that are the result of years of practice, gigging, touring, and teaching experience. Not only will you get some incredibly useful tips for practicing and playing, but you’ll also get professional insight into how to prepare for gigs, essential skills for improving your musicianship, scales for soloing, theory, and demonstrations using some of the most classic rock hits of all-time.

In this lesson, you will review four basic rhythmic values: whole, dotted-half, half, and quarter notes. After some brief examples you will work through 12 Rhythmic Exercises, successively increasing in their level of difficulty. These exercises will improve your rhythm and sight-reading ability. In addition to the sheet music, you will receive two drum-groove jam tracks at different tempos that should be used as practice resources.

In Part 2 of the Rock Rhythm Practice lesson, you will review the rhythms discussed in Part 1 and immediately build upon your mastery by introducing eighth notes. You will work through Rhythmic Exercises #1-12, gradually increasing in difficulty, while also improving your sight-reading skills. In addition to the sheet music, this lesson also provides two great drum groove jam tracks at different speeds for use in your practice.
