On this page you will be applying the One Handed 16th Note Right Hand concept learned previously in level 2 within the time signature of 9/8. The basic idea shouldn't prove too much of a challenge but getting the grooves up to higher tempos with that constant right hand is real push on your stamina. At the bottom of the page I have listed a few lessons you may find useful when learning these parts.
Listed below are several examples of 9/8 grooves using this right hand idea. As always, use this as a starting point for creating your own grooves based on the concept.

TASKS
- Learn the grooves above up to a tempo of at least 130bpm.
- Create your own grooves based on this idea.
- Create some 4 bar phrases in 9/8. For now, use three bars of a groove followed by one bar of a different groove.
