Lesson transcript:
Bhangra Beat Music Lesson
Introduction
So play that. The Bhangra beat is an Indian style and it only uses our two notes: C's and D's.
First Section
I'm just going to play the beginning of the song for you. If we practice a few sections, then when you're ready, you can play along with me. Or just put the backing track on and play it yourself.
Lyrics to Remember
There are some words to help you remember the song:
"Play that Bhangra beat."
Just try singing that with me. Here we go:
"Play that Bhangra beat."
This gives us the rhythm of the song.
Identifying Notes
Think about which of those words are on C and which are on D. I'll sing it one more time:
"Play Daad. Bhangra beat."
Pitch Differences
Listen to the difference in the pitch. When we go to that, we're going up to D, so we're going a little bit higher there.
Next Phrase
The next phrase is:
"Play it every week."
(C, C, D, D, C)
I'll play that bit now.
Technique Reminder
You've got to move your tongue and your fingers quite quickly. Don't forget to press down the vowels all the way.
Practice Together
So let's play that whole phrase. Here we go:
1, 2.
Well done!
New Line
The next line is the same tune but has different words. Play it rhythmically with A, D, and C. So same tune, but let's play it anyway. Here we go:
1, 2, 3, 4.
Well done!
Easy Section
The next bit is very easy. Play that rhythm:
Ta, ta, ta, ta.
Play it quite heavily.
Note Breakdown
This happens on C, then on D, and then on C again. So let's play those three phrases:
1, 2, 3, 4. 1, 2.
Chorus Section
Then we do this bit:
"Play that Bhangra beat,"
which is the same tune with different words as the one we played earlier.
Adding Energy
On the chorus section, you get to shout some haze! So you can always add some Bollywood or Bhangra dancing while you're doing that.
Improvisation Section
The next part is the copyback or improvisation section.
Creative Freedom
Improvising is making up your own thing, so just have some fun with C and D and make up your own improvising phrases. You can start off by copying back what I do, and then as you get more confident, you can create your own phrases in the space.
