Fiesta Siesta: Understanding the Samba 2 Beat Feel
Let's get started with Fiesta Siesta.
Samba 2 Beat Feel
We're going to talk about the Samba 2 beat feel.
-
Time Signature:
- If you take a look at the music, you'll see that it's written in cut common time.
- This looks like a C with a line down the middle of it.
- You can count this in four, but the actual feel of this music is two.
-
Minims:
- If you look at the little box above that indication, you'll see that there are some minims written:
- Two minims per bar.
- So, we can actually use this as the key to our feel.
- If you look at the little box above that indication, you'll see that there are some minims written:
Listening Exercise
- Listen to the backing track of the introduction.
- You'll hear that two beat feel in the rhythm section:
- One, two... one, two.
Let's think of that pulse as we play the first little phrase.
Clapping the Pulse
- I'll play that for you now and you see if you can clap that pulse:
- Did you hear the two beat feel?
- 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2.
- Did you hear the two beat feel?
I'll play it one more time.
Accenting the Beats
- There I put some accents on the main beats of the bar.
- I'll play it one more time, and this time you can copy after.
When we're playing in this two beat feel, you can accent the main beats of the bar.
- In that last performance that I did, you probably heard me playing an accent on the first full bar, the minim at the beginning of that bar.
- And then the next note, which is a dotted crotchet, goes da da.
Practice playing that straight away.
Creating the Dancey Feel
We start to get in this nice dancey feel.
- We want to feel like it's a dance and that we're having fun.
