 This page will (hopefully) always be UNDER CONSTRUCTION too.
The idea here is to (hopefully) Help lead you to music on the web, with which you may jam and
HEAR the ideas, (beats and rolls) being discussed in the lessons. It's one thing to see an idea in note-form,
and yet, it's quite another thing to HEAR that idea in use within a popular song of the moment. Students always
learn quicker and easier, if they can HEAR a beat or roll pattern in use.
The PROBLEM with this plan and this web page is the changing music, and the changing web, itself. They're
both CONSTANTLY changing, without notice! This makes it VERY difficult to keep
up with the changes. Dead links may constantanly occur here, as various web pages go offline, and specific
songs fade into non-existance. Your patience, understanding and help are requested,
concerning this. Please report all dead links, and I'll try to fix the resulting problems on this page,
as they occur.
ANYWAY . . . HERE ARE A FEW ACTUAL SONGS I'VE FOUND ON THE WEB, THAT RELATE DIRECTLY TO THE
BASIC BEATS AS THEY'RE DISCUSSED IN THE
'BASIC DANCE BEATS' LESSON . . .
Some of these clips are in Real Audio format, and others are MP3s. You'll need to be online
to hear these music clips but your computer should
already be configured to play either format. These songs are only intended to be used
a samples to help get you playing the particular beat-patterns, along with recorded music.
If you can feel and jam with these songs, you'll have little trouble jamming with any
music you may wish to play.
