Musical Style #1 - 8-Beat

This is the most common style used in worship. It can be used for 95% of all songs though it may not be the most suitable style.

We can use this style on any 4/4 song. Basically this is contemporary pop style. It can be used for slow or fast songs but due to its simplistic rhythm, it is very suitable for very fast songs.

It is called the 8-beat because each bar is divided into 8 smaller beats by 8 hi-hat quaver notes.

When nothing works, just use the 8-beat !
