The Meters

For class on Friday, Sept. 26th we are going to work on the classic funk song by The Meters :Cissy Strut. Below are some links that will help everyone begin to learn the song. I expect everyone to try the song on their own and come in with questions on Friday.

There are only two parts to the song. LEARN BOTH!

Follow this link to hear the original recording.

Guitarists: Follow this link to watch a member of the Meters play each part slowly. Follow this link to view the notes and tablature for each of the two parts. Part A is repeated several times before going on to part B.

Bassists: Follow this link to watch a bassist playing your part. Follow this link to view the notes and tablature for each of the two parts.

Drummers: Listen to the song over and over. Learn the beat patterns for each of the two parts and memorize the overal form (the order of parts) for the whole song.

Pianists: Follow the guitar links and use that to help you learn the guitar riff.
