Track of the week Men in Black by Forever the Sickest Kid. Firstly, yes, I know…. The name “Forever the Sickest Kid”….. I don’t quite know why you’d want to name your band that but hey! This is another Alien Ant Farm, Fallout Boy type cover, but it’s pretty cool which is why I’ve chosen it this week.

It’s kinda half funky, half rocky with a little bit of a dancy kinda vibe! It’s great! I can imagine rocking out on a beach in Miami at sundown with some scantily clad women getting my groove on!

This is a pretty complex track to play so it’s not for those who either don’t like to work at things or haven’t been playing long.

Today I’ll give you the breakdown and over the next two days I’ll give you some grooves and fills from the track…

Section          No. of Bars

Intro              2

Chorus          8

Inst.              4

1st Verse     12

Chorus         8

Inst.             2

2nd Verse   12

Bridge (Double Time)  4.5 (Double time 9….. Stop on 7th then stab with lyrics “men”… “in”…. “black” 
then stop for a bar…..Remember this is still a double time bar so it goes by very quickly!)                                                    

Break (Half Time) 2 ¼  This bit is real tricky to count so pay attention. Count “1 + 2 + 3 + 4  +   +” for the 1st bar. In terms of a time signature the 1st bar is in 9/8 but if you’re not familiar with that yet then just follow the count I suggested. Though it’s STILL tricky!

Bridge (normal time again) 8 (Stop on the “1” of the 8th bar)

Chorus         8

Outro (like chorus but half time) 8

I recommend listening and counting to the track (especially the tricky bit around 1min 30secs until 2mins) quite a
few times before you try and play it!
