Alright folks, this is video number one but it's part two in a selection I'm doing on hopefully teaching you, breaking it down and showing you how or helping you how to learn, how to start mixing a form of music known as reggaeton. Now in video one, part one, I just gave you a basic idea of what reggaeton was, what it was all about. In part two, what we're going to do, we're going to play a track, it's entitled Tic Tac Toe. And I'm going to actually do loads of crosses on this piece of paper. There's a reason, because every cross will be a bar. One, two, three, four. And I'm going to actually structure these bars and hopefully you'll be able to listen to the structure yourself. So first of all let's play the music without doing anything. Let's have a listen.

0:56 One, two, three, four

Alright, we'll play it a little bit further, well we'll play more of it when I start doing these crosses but what I'm going to do is I'm going to do lines of crosses and let's see if we can actually see a pattern. Off we go. One, two, three, four. Okay, now straight away even you should realize that we have a structure. We have almost four lots of bars and then It changes slightly and we have another four. Changes slightly, we have another four. Again, another four and another four. Now I bet you, possibly, if I listened to the entire track, it would all be in groups of four. Or bringing this track into another track. That's very important. Alright, this is part two in video number one. Practice and enjoy.
