Nasty Groove 1

This marks the beginning of a new series: Nasty Grooves.

“Nasty Groove #1” is a linear funk beat, inspired by the likes of Dennis Chambers, David Garibaldi, Vinnie Colaiuta and Mike Clark.

It’s a very funky beat…make sure that the ghosted notes are very quiet…that is one of the keys to making these types of grooves sound great.

Here’s the PDF: Nasty Groove 1.

Have at it. Below are two videos: the first is me playing the groove at a “normal” tempo, followed by a very slooooowww version.
