carefully: Open GarageBand and create a new file called 4E [Last name] Inversion Task. (If it doesnt let you create a new file, right click on the trash and empty it. If it still doesnt work, try trashing a past GarageBand file and empting the trash.) Choose a drum loop that you like and drag it to the empty space below your piano track. Extend or shorten it so that it lasts for 4 bars (until 5 on the ruler.) Change the tempo to whatever you like within about 15% of the loops designated tempo. (Not
sure how to change the tempo? It
is in the book- lesson 3, step 3.) Select the piano track (so it turns green) and practice playing the chords we learned last week: Chord F G Am C
Notes F2, A2, C3 G2, B2, D3 A2, C3, E3 C3, E3, G3
Try this new way to play the C
chord, with the G an 8ve lower: G2, C3, E3 (We will go through this as a class) We call it C/G, because it is a C chord over a G bass (lowest) note. Practice moving between C/G and G. They both have G2, and the
other two notes dont have to
move far between chords. Practice moving between C/G and Am. Only the bottom note has to move, and only by one step. Todays Main Task: Come up with a 4 bar piano loop (like last week) that goes well with your drumbeat and uses the chords F, G, Am and the newly learned C/G. (The only difference to last week is the C/G chord instead of the C chord.)
