Hello my name is James Colonna from Cherry Hills Studios on behalf of Expert Village.
In this next clip we're going to be talking about natural sticking, alternate sticking
as well as right and left hand lead. All of these are pretty much how you decide how your
going to play are you going to play with natural sticking and natural sticking is if your in
4, 4 time and your playing 16 notes your playing right left right left right left right left
right left. Your hands are alternating the whole time your playing a series of 16 notes
if your doing alternate sticking and your playing 16 notes the exact same thing is natural
sticking. Where alternate and natural sticking differ is when your playing a pattern that
is not consistent in the notes that your playing, so if your not playing 16 notes all the way
through your playing some 16 notes and your playing some 8 notes and a quarter note alternate
sticking is going to be exactly what it is, your alternating between hands every note
that you play. It doesn't matter if the rhythm is you know something like this (drumming)
right there I was doing natural sticking so that if I was playing in a series of 16 notes
that is the note when I'm playing the rhythm if I had 16 notes moving all the way through
it that would be the sticking that would be happening. Alternate sticking in that same
pattern would be (drumming) where your going right left right left right left right right
left right or whatever it is. Your constantly moving from hand to hand.
