Level 4 Arrangements of Beats

       Arrangements of Beats are new and exciting picking pieces that are also a part of this new picking method. Arrangements of Beats are similar to the belts of running beats. Both the belts of running beats and the arrangements of beats originate and are made up from the 8th beat and the 16th beats of running and sounding and silent beats. Arrangements of beats are a combination or a mix of eight sounding and silent beats.

     With these 8th beats arrangements all eight 8th beats sounding or silent are equal to each other in the value of musical timing. Silent beats are still in the voice count 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + but they are not played or picked. It takes a total of eight sounding and silent to make up one arrangement of beats.

     Because these lessons teachers beats and their value. I use the word silent beats instead of the word rest. Both silent beats and rest mean the same thing and have the same value in musical timing.
