00:00Hi there, so I'm back again. We're looking at the intermediate rhythms. So just a reminder, again, you must make
00:07sure that you're very, very, very comfortable with the fundamental or beginner rhythms.
00:12So common time, march, waltz, syncopated, ballad and swing. If you're not fully comfortable with those, these intermediate rhythms might
00:22be a touch too difficult.
00:23But if you're fully comfortable with those, you should be ready to move on to these intermediate rhythms.
00:30So I'll get stuck straight into what I call the intermediate ballad or the syncopated ballad or ballad with syncopation,
00:40however you want to look at it.
00:41It essentially takes the ballad rhythm from beginner level and starts with that rhythm.
00:47But in the second half of the bar, it becomes a little bit more complex.
00:52There's more going on and there's a little bit of syncopation in there as well, hence the name.
00:57So here it is, the intermediate or syncopated ballad.
01:07There it is. I'll maybe try it a little bit slower for you.
01:18Now, the song that you'll be studying here in my intermediate folder will be Hotel California by the Eagles.
01:26So I'll just give you a quick demo of that.
01:58Okay. So, one more time, just to conclude, the intermediate ballad or the syncopated ballad or ballad with syncopation.
02:08One more time.
02:14And a little slower.
02:21Okay. Thank you.
