The Skinny Puppies don’t use much of the melody of the song except for the part “three blind mice”. You may also notice that it sounds a bit different! That is because the song is in minor! (What does this mean?)

Example
This motive can be heard almost throughout the song, but there are a few moments when it is gone. Can you hear when it’s gone?
For practising improvisation on a song, it is very helpful to loop just part of it. Keep trying to hear more details in it and experiment with what you could add. Practice with just the opening part of the song. What can you do with it? Leave your comments, questions and recordings below!
