Description
Notes From John
BPM = 147, in 6/8. The bass sits out the first eight bars, then walks up into D. Verse roots are tied and held under the maj9 and sus4 moves. The chorus drops to open E under Em, then climbs to G. The third verse adds two-note shapes, and it ends on a held low A.
For the player
This part is in no hurry. It sits out the intro and comes in with a short walk-up into D. Most bars are one tied root held while the chords change above it. The third verse adds two-note shapes, but they stay small. Serve the song, don’t thicken it. At BPM = 147 the job is the feel.
