The lyrics in ‘Blues’ music are often about topics such as love, the unfairness of situations and other troubles. When you are writing your own lyrics, try to consider this by singing about something you are not happy about, or want to have a moan about ….school, love, homework, school dinners! Make it moody and use descriptive language but don’t get too complex. Most ‘Blues’ songs are pretty simple which helps them to be catchy. Tongue‐in‐cheek humour is also good.

Start with drum pattern 1 and if you feel you have mastered this, then go onto drum pattern 2.
You could even try changing between the two during the performance and perhaps use the ride cymbal
instead of the hi‐hat. If you are on a hand‐sonic, you can try to play the same pattern or improvise using the
‘conga’ percussion setting. Don’t be afraid to put fills in and cymbal hits when you feel that they are
appropriate.
