13m
Learning a traditional tune called Roddy Mc Corley (and a quick look at the G Major Scale - 3 ways of playing a C Natural note). You will hear the tune, break it into simple sections and rehearse each section to be able to play full parts. You will still have the aid of a chart to help you with note placing. You will be given live notes to follow as you play through each part. You will then play the full tune at a slow pace with live notes to follow. Then you will finish by playing the tune at a faster speed or tempo, more like a session-ready pace.
