Close to You - Scholar Packet

Aloha & thank you for purchasing your Scholar Packet for our “Close to You” Livestream. We hope you enjoy changing the feel of songs you already know and love using some of the ideas taught in the lesson. I have added a few more bits of information in the video below, discussing changing between 3/4 to 4/4 time as well as a bonus “Calypso” rhythm that I like to use for songs like “Jump in the Line”. I’ll also talk a little about the closed chords you see on the bonus page of Swing as well, to give an overview of why I chose some of the ones that I did.

Backing Tracks are easily downloaded if you wish, please click the download text on the track below, or just visit the website and press the play button. The song is laid out - INTRO, A, A, B, A (one full song form) A, A, B, A (2nd full song form).
