- Start with a Beat, a Bass Line and a Chord Progression (listen for more than one note at a time).
- Then after the form is created, improvise by adding new instrument lines below.
- Use your editing to cut and paste your patterns.
- If you are using a swing pattern, align to the closest Eighth Note Triplet (1/8T).
- If you are using a rock/pop pattern, align to the closest Eighth Note.
