Groove Essentials 2.0: Groove 74

Check out this groove from GE 2.0 featuring Tommy Igoe! In this groove, Tommy explores a "backbeat-less" R&B groove!

Tommy is a great mentor. I love his methods of teaching. It's simplified, but very detailed. I could buy every one of his DVDs and not regret it.

Very reminiscent of The Sweetest Taboo by Sade. Love that groove. Teach that one to my students. Now there's a play along for it. These books/tracks are so great!

@jaleesamg Your mind is like a 5th limb. You just gotta get it up to speed with the rest of em!

[@Bonzo1x7]

What Hi-hats is he using?

[@jaleesamg]

I would have no problem playing this, but i would never know where i am with the counting :P That's kind of my problem. it's easy for me to imitate someone, but i don't always know how to count i :S

[@jaleesamg]

@chunkyluver55 =D

[@ThomasMetal75]

Isn't Tommy more or less playing to Fusion and not Hip-Hop or R&B?

[@Correatras-br]

[@makakamakaki]

I don't count at all.I mean,never.It just confuses me.
