FIDDLING in “FIVE” with LAURA CORTESE

Fiddling in “Five” with Laura Cortese, Part 2: Laura Teaches “Tune In Five”

Laura Cortese teaches her “Tune in Five,” an original tune in 5/4 time and shows you how to play a “chop” rhythm in 5/4. She also shows you the chord progression to “Tune in Five,” which includes some unusual double stops, and then she and Brittany play the tune together slowly, so you can practice the melody or your 5/4 chop along with them.
