Track of the week - Genie in a Bottle

July 15th, 2008

This week I’ve chose Genie in a Bottle by Christina Aguilara because it can be played by someone who’s just started out and by someone who’s developing their double pedal work and be challenging for both parties.

The basic structure of this track is easy, and if you’re a beginner just keeping a solid groove throughout is all that’s needed. But if you’re someone who’s a more seasoned played, and are especially working on improving your double pedal game then this is a fantastic track to work on!

Here’s the breakdown and tomorrow I’ll write you up some grooves to try.
