Learning it

  1. Listen through at full speed. Twice. Hum it.
  2. Pick the A part, set the tempo to 60% and turn on Loop. Play along until it’s boring.
  3. Same again for the B part. Then put them together and nudge the tempo up.
  4. Come in on a Monday or Tuesday and listen to how they actually play it. It won’t be quite this.
