" Lets talk about something called bare bones technique. You've notice that there is a real pattern in between the deep tone and the high tone. Well a bare bone technique is where you and several other people are playing it works really good when you have 2-3 friends playing with you and everybody together starts playing anything on top and only plays the duets. So lets take the .....for example. I'm just going to do that. Four times. I'm going to go back to ......lets do that with Sahedi. Now here is the fun thing to do with those things get 2-3 friends. Everybody drops to bare bones four time through and then a fun step that you could do with that is one person can play the four rhythm while everybody else plays the dums. Another thing you could do that is fun is you could get a little more advance is have all but one person drop to the bare bone and let the other person solo over the bare bone so he doesn't have to hit the dums beasue you are all doing just the dum. He could go crazy and solo. That is a big fun. Another big fun I'm going to do is everybody go bare bones and then let scream stuff in the middle. You know stuff like this try for fun it is a fun thing to do. It is especially fun as a group."
