Beginners Notes #285-Rhythmic pattern exercise

Dick Sexton · From: Greenville, Ohio

Here is a little rhythmic exercise that I found difficult at first. Gets better with a little practice and repetition.

Work out those digits... Play it up and back.
Note: This like others can be stopped and/or started at any point that sounds good, to be used where needed.

And back, with subtle changes. Note: Try playing this with and without the notes in red.
Notice the rhythmic change and different feel of the run.
