Below is a breakdown of Home by Michael Buble, it shows the section name and number of bars.
(If I write .5 in any section, e.g. 8.5 it means count 8x normal bars and then count just half a bar “1 + 2 +” then back to “1” again. Obviously if you’ve covered different time signatures then you know it’s just a bar of 2/4)
This week I’ve chosen Home by Michael Buble because recently I’ve given you some fast and rocky tracks, so this week I thought I’d choose a chilled out track! But don’t let that fool you… it’s still tricky to get right! It’s also one I’m learning on piano so I thought it appropriate.
Now this track has some bars of 2/4 in it…. But I’m just gonna use the 0.5 decimal as it’s easier!
When you play it try to be sympathetic to the style…. You should be thinking about texture and feeling rather than just smacking the right thing in the right place! It’s not about WHAT you play it’s about HOW you play it.
It’s actually harder to get right than it sounds so give it a listen first and I’ll give you the breakdown tomorrow. And please don’t just shy away from it if it isn’t your particular style. Learning to adapt to all styles with make you a stronger player so please accept the challenge!
