In the recording, you’ll hear a simple, free-time, intro followed by several repeats of the verse melody building to a snappy outro. You’ll have access to the note-for-note transcription as it appears on the album.

To get this great tune under your fingers quickly, we’ll focus our study on a few of the verses to help you get this tune under your fingers quickly.

The performance video comes with the SoundSlice interactive tab player with selectable video angles, tempo controls and looping ability so you can focus on what you need most.
