This weeks “Track of the week” is Tell me Baby by the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, I’ve chosen this track because a few of the guys that I teach are learning to play it so I said I’d write it up for them! Simple as that! But it’s a cracking track to play to for people of all standards. You can keep it basic, just moving from section to section from the hi hat to ride, or if you wanna make things a tad more complex you can try to mimic exactly what Chad Smith is playing. Either way, get a hold of it, give it a listen and rock out!
