More layered coordination. There’s a lot to cover! And it’s funky!

a) The transcribed beat and chart.
b) Video of Jim playing to the track
c) MP3 of the track without drums
Play the transcribed beat to the track without drums of this song.
Note 1: The open solo ends with a visual cue to go to B. Obviously you can’t see it! That’s the reason for the 28 bars. We were playing in 4 bar phrases, so if you keep your playing in 4 bar phrases that will help.
Note 2: The track ends sharply as I shortened it for the course. It wasn’t a great edit!
d) MP3 of the original song
I used a different beat on the original. Use the transcribed beat when you play to the track.
