I posted this etude. (See Check this out).
I put a link to it above so if you reply to this page it will keep it in the classroom.
Check out the etude. We talked about this in the workshop.
In other words if you come back to this page and post comments it's just in the classroom and private to us.
I always thought that working on something harder than something else also helped making that other thing easier. I thought practicing in odd times would help me play in even times better. That was part of my motivation of learning odd times.
I think you should work out a few tunes and call them on gigs and try them out. Get used to playing in 5. I figured that playing 3 and 2 would help you're playing in three as well as playing in 5!
And odd times can be really fun and liberating. All of a sudden you're feeling comfortable in an odd time, that's a good feeling!
