This week I have chosen Get on the Floor by Michael Jackson from his “off the Wall” album. I haven’t heard this track in ages but I remembered what a cracking-ly funky track it is! It’s great practice for your four to the floor groove if you have one (and if not it’s a great time to get one!). This track is about precision and consistency so do try to achieve that when playing. I’ll write out the verse and chorus grooves for you next time.
