Putting It All Together!

Now we're going to take all of these concepts and string them together in one longer musical example. Take a sequencer or drum machine, program a I-IV-V progression, and just practice moving between all of these techniques. Try to get it to where you don't even have to think about it. Playing with a lot of different players and situations might require you to switch between these on a moment's notice.

And most of all, enjoy yourself! Ska is a light-hearted style of music that should make you feel happy and carefree.
