  1. This was a great lesson Brock. Showing the different examples of half time and double time and mixing them together to give completely different feels to the music is extremely helpful. I also liked hearing the combinations that didn’t work. Great stuff!

  2. It’s a cool trick to be able to apply three different feels to one riff without changing the tempo. Hope you get some good milage out of it!
