Walk the WalkJamey Simmons

Some notes to the performer:

1. Before playing this song look at the key signature and time signature. Are there any notes you don'trecognize? If not, consult your fingering chart.

2. Next sing or tap through just the rhythms. If there are some you don't understand, isolate those andtry to tap a few notes at a time.

3. Remember in the swing style the underlying rhythm is a triplet. Your teacher can help you improve atthis "swing feel" in your playing. Remember that the "AND" of the beats get a slight accent with thetongue while still keeping the line LEGATO.

4. For a really swinging example of this swing style listen to the Count Basie big band's song "SPLANKY".

Have fun!!!!
