Huang Chi-bin - 若無你我欲去佗位 Practice Notes
Before formally practicing the song, I always play straight sixteenth notes to warm up the hands.
After warming up, don’t rush to play with the music. First, learn each section slowly and securely.
Once the grooves and sticking are stable, it’s much easier to practice with the track.
Start with the verse groove.
Here’s an alternate verse groove.
For the fourth beat here I use the sticking: L L R R
Using this sticking makes the transition into the next bar smoother—give it a try.
Next, practice the fill before the chorus.
If it doesn’t feel smooth yet, drop the BPM by 10
and slowly lock in the groove and sticking before increasing speed again.
Now get ready to enter the chorus.
Repeat bars 3–4 to connect the earlier groove to the fill.
You can also follow the indicated sticking—it helps with control.
Next is another fill.
This song has many “sixteenth + thirty-second” note groupings.
If those feel awkward, practice the fundamental patterns below and nail the sticking first, then return to the song’s fills.
Next is the last fill—almost done!
Finally, the Outro
Wrap up! 🥁
Once each section is practiced slowly and securely, try playing through with the music from start to finish.
