im a beginner, i play at my church and i was wondering if you had any tips on improvising on a song depending the style of the music... thanks god bless

@VicV1122 - there are many down beat patterns that you can play. I play in a church band too and I too don't always try to play latin in Gospel.

Hello Rudy,

Do you have a particular reason for playing the first tone in Timba with your left hand. It seems awkward. Is it to facilitate improvisation and ghosting?

Bruno.

Rudy,

Do you have a particular reason for playing the first tone on the left hand? It seems less awkward to play it with the right hand. Is it to facilitate improvisation?
