- "Love Games" is a cool Funky Jazz Pop tune by Level 42 from their debut album Level 42 released in 1981. Love Games features some solid and funky drumming by Phil Gould . This track grooves from start to finish and I love Phil's hi-hat work throughout. I have a few Level 42 albums but I love the rawness of this album and I used to spin this disc a lot back in the day!
It was a great challenge to transcribe this tune but even more challenging to reproduce and cover the song note for note in a single take. DISCLAIMER! There are some mistakes and even a little of my own thing in there. I hope you enjoy it.
If you would like a pdf of the transcription in this video please feel free to contact me through my website

Hey thank you Bec W. Best wishes LC.
Great track , nice simple groove. Although I usually try to add the timbali shot's and play the bass line with right foot !
I was too busy focusing in on the PG's hi-hat work. LOL. Thanks! LC
@@masterfuldrumming8408 Phil Gould is an excellent drummer , but so is every drummer that plays in Level 42 , but Gould set the bar quite high in my opinion !!
@@ARGBlackCloud and Phil Gould wrote a lot of great lyrics for many of their hit songs. His contribution to Level 42 as a drummer and a writer makes him my fav.
@@masterfuldrumming8408 It wan't till I saw a video of this tune that I found out the Timbale parts are done by the keyboard player !!! Oh Well
You've put a wonderful work on this. Great feel and groove. Thank you for that inspiration :-)
