This week I’ve chosen Golden Touch by Razorlight as I’m not on my computer and decided to take advantage of the choice of different bands I wouldn’t have in my collection!

Quite a few people like to play along to the likes of Razorlight, and this song I vaguely know so I thought we could give it a crack.

This track is great for working on your counting (some stopping and starting as well as sections with odd amounts of bars), lifts, and general slow playing while keeping a constant and even sound.

To let you know, the lifts are on the “+ of 1” and the “+ of 3” and you can play the floor tom on the “a of 2 and the “a of 4” then the bass on the “1” and “3”. (Getting the timing smooth on this can be a bit of a challenge so you might need to work at it)

As I’m not as my computer this week I can’t write it for you like I usually do so you’ll have to use your brains and figure it out from that!
