"I'm Scott Swearingen rythmpig.com r-y-t-h-m-p-i-g-rythmpig.com you could hear some of my work there and my Cd Belaharr worlds would be out very soon. By the time you see this it is probably out and go check it out on my website. Okay lets go to the next rhythm the middle eastern rhythm this one is shiftatelli. This is typically a slower piece. It is more often played women are probably going to be doing more of a more settle movements. A lot of times the dance veils with this. My friend dance with this. This is there favorite song to use to play veils. So right there you got a two count hold to fill right there. Usually what you do especially when there is a lot of people is everybody could take turns playing a few notes in side that hole if you got people with shakers and percussions it is a great place to put the percussion. So it fills your hole in. Don't fill it to much because that hole the rhythm is really ......on there. Usually a dance .....right there were you stop playing. So try that one now that is a good one to try to be very very study and very very slow pace and then if you got friends learning everybody takes turns doing little fills inside that hole at the end it is called shiftatelli. Now I play it a little bit faster for here because sometimes it is put in a little moderate speed. Shiftatelli."
