The second version of this song on the recording is in the key of E minor. Once again, there are slight differences in phrasing between the two versions. Sing along with the version that feels most comfortable for your vocal range.
The following example contains some common rhythms using triplets and swing eighth notes. As with previous rhythm exercises, clap the rhythms while counting and tapping your foot on the beat. Then sing the rhythms along with the recording using the syllable ba and then sing them from memory while tapping your foot on each beat.
Now try these phrases which apply the previous rhythms to the C Blues scale. On the recording, the syllable ba is used, but try these phrases with other syllables as well.
