Double Time Grooves In 6/4

In this lesson you will be revisiting Double Time Grooves and switching them over to the time signature of 6/4. These grooves won't be too challenging until you hit the higher tempos but it would be beneficial to read the previous lesson linked above as well as our Level 2 Foot Speed lesson. All you are really doing here is taking previous double time grooves and extending them by two quarter notes.

Listed below are a few 6/4 grooves that are played in double time using various different concepts already explored within this category of playing.
