WEEK 3
This week you will explore a range of strumming patterns using a Doo-Wop chord progression that works with many songs from the 1950s and beyond. From this progression you will explore a 10 song mashup.
DOO-WOP MASH UP
The Doo-Wop mashup contains just 4 chords with 2 beats per chord and can be played over a two bar sequence. Doo-wop is a genre of rhythm and blues music that originated in African-American communities during the late 1940s, early 1950's mainly in the large cities of the United States and can be characterised by vocal group harmonies, a simple beat and light instrumentation.
The chord progression you will explore this week contains: C - Am - F - G7. The songs contained in this mashup range from the doo-wop era of the 1950's along with more current pop hits from the 1990's that use a similar progression. You will be using a range of variations on these chords, with some picking patterns and melody lines.
