Level: 2/3
Tuning: DADGAD

In 1958 the Dave Brubeck Quartet accomplished something rare in the world of jazz-they had a top-40 hit with "Take Five." Sandy Shalk takes you step by step through the melody of this tune and an improvisational section. Instruction focuses how to keep the bass part repeating to set up the 5 beat rhythm of the tune while keeping the melody on top. You can't miss by having a highly recognizable jazz hit in DADGAD - in 5/4 time! - in your fingerstyle repertoire.
