Notes:
  • USE A METRONOME FOR ALL EXERCISES
  • Set the metronome to accent beat one.
  • Listen to audio examples on each page (especially the swing examples), and play the exercises using both straight and swing feels (where indicated).
  • Repeat examples as many times as you have to--until you 'feel' that you are playing them correctly.
