I Put A Spell On You - 12/8 Groove Tutorial

This tutorial is designed for all musicians and producers, exploring the 12/8 groove through the Screaming Jay Hawkins classic - 'I Put A Spell On You' (Annie Lennox version).

All the instrument parts will be covered: drums, bass, organ, strings, piano, lead melody and solo improvisation. Throughout we will explore options for rhythms, bass lines, chord voicings and melodic improvisation so you can develop the right part that suits your context (band, accompanist, soloist).

The backing track beat never stops so you can jam in the pocket and learn in the groove!
