In this version of “New Rules”, the challenge is to play the Marimba part as it appears in the original version of the song. You will have to string together the chords of The minor (Am), Sol (G), Fa (F) and Sol (G). The difficulty lies mainly in the off-beat placement of these chords, as well as in the relatively fast tempo of the piece, which is 116 bpm.
To approach this version, it is important to understand the chords and their sequence. First, familiarize yourself with the position of the chords on the piano, in order to clearly visualize the fingerings and transitions between chords. To help you get used to the chord progression, practice transitioning between chords smoothly. Works on changing chords so that it is quick and precise, ensuring that each chord sounds clear and distinct.
When it comes to offbeat placement, this means that the chords will be played between the main beats of the measure, adding a syncopated and rhythmically interesting feel to the music. To practice placing chords off-beat, use a metronome set to 116 bpm and start by playing the chords with emphasis on the downbeats (the main beats of each measure). Once you feel comfortable with this, try playing the chords offbeat, just before the downbeats. This requires a certain rhythmic precision and a good sense of timing.
When it comes to the steady tempo of 116 bpm, it's important to start slowly and gradually increase the speed as you feel more comfortable. Use the metronome to help you maintain a steady tempo and build your rhythmic precision.
Don't hesitate to segment the chord progression and work on each measure individually, ensuring that each chord is executed perfectly before moving on to the next. This will allow you to develop a solid playing foundation and ensure a smooth transition between chords.
Finally, keep in mind that regular practice and patience are essential to mastering this version of “New Rules”. Take the time to practice regularly, working on chord precision, off-beat placement and sustained tempo. With perseverance and determination, you will be able to play this Marimba part with confidence and musicality.
