Hi Dave

Could you help me with the notation in ex.1 in cupping and hand affects study.

In bar 4 line 2 the notation appears to indicate a two 1/4 note space plus a 1/4 note space but within a triplet. Therefore are the  two Wa Wa's two eight notes or is there  three 1/4 note spaces with another 1/3 of a triplet space followed with two "triplet notes"? Or is it a triplet 1/4 as per Ex13 in rhythm training and the 1/4 note rest  symbol actually a 2/3rds of a note rest in this context? Simililarly with bar 3 of line 3.

 

It probably doesn't make a lot of difference in this study context but I am a bit pedantic about these things.

 

Thanks and best wishes

You are correct bordercollie,

You are correct bordercollie, those are triplet quarters and a triplet quarter rest, as in Rhythm Training Ex. 13.

Garage Band

Hello Dave, I am having a problem with Garage Band. I would like to be evaluated on the "Cupping and Hand tremolo" lesson at a slower speed. Everytime I "click and drag" the slower version jam track onto New Project Garage Band, it reverts to full speed. The version of Garage Band is 6.0.4(427.84). Any suggestions?

I'm sorry, I don't... haven't

I'm sorry, I don't... haven't heard of this. Since the evaluation is for tremolo and hand effects, go ahead and send me a recording of you minus the backing.
