For this lesson, I want you to count like this: 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and im going to write it out like this: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + lets get started! 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + H| x x x x x x x x | S| o o | B| o o o | 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + H| x x x x x x x x | S| o o | B| o o o | 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + H| x x x x x x x x | S| o o | B| o o o o | That was pretty easy, right? Now lets do some more complicated beats. These will help build your coordination. 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + H| x x x x | S| o o | B| o o o | If you don’t get it right away, don’t worry, I didn’t either. Keep practicing before you move on to the next one. 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + H| x x x x | S| o o | B| o o o o | 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + H| x x x x | S| o o | B| o o o o | 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + H| x x x x | S| o o | B| o o o o o | Good job!

Okay, youre doing very well. Ill finish of with a very short song. Keep playing these next few beats all together. Remember to keep counting! H| x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x | S| o o o o | B| o o o o o o o o o | C| x H| x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x | S| o o o o | B| o o o o o | H| x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x | S| o o | B| o o o o | C| x | H| x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x | S| o o | B| o o o o o o o | Look for lesson 3 now.
