7/8 Explained, Grooves, and Applications

[MENDOZA]

Hey LGM FAM!!

I just wanted to share and answer some 7/8 questions for some people.  Some musicians when they hear odd meters, just begin to freak out.  So I took the time to mess around with my Zoom H4 (which is awesome and it's pretty afforable) and explained it in the easiest form that I could and how I explain it to my students.  So I hope this helps.  Part 1 explains the 7/8 (how to count it and what it is), Part 2, is applying the 7/8 Groove into a Straight forward beat (in this case a little funk beat) and the last part is different ideas for a 7/8 Grooves.  Take care and God Bless.

Ok LGM!!!  If you are advanced and you already understand the concept and can play it, dont download these clips!  They are limited and some people need them more than others!
