🥁Rhythm & Sync
mediumStraight vs Swing D Lick
Create a 4-note phrase using D-F#-G-A. Play it straight eighth notes for 4 measures, then immediately switch to swing eighth notes for 4 measures. Same notes, completely different feel. Practice the transition at 120 BPM.
Tip: The same melody can tell two different stories depending on how you phrase the rhythm. Straight eighth notes drive forward, swing eighth notes lay back and groove.
