Description
Notes From John
BPM = 129. The bass waits out the intro and comes in on a held E flat under the spoken “Wow! Mommy’s kissing” line. The verse opens on E flat and slides down the A string to B flat. The chorus walks through a diminished chord into D7, using open strings. The bass sits out a long interlude and the whole outro.
For the player
Most of this part is rests and short dotted figures, so the count matters more than the notes. The verses bounce on two beats, with eighth-note pickups into each chord. The chorus is where the line moves. Ride each gear change into that chorus and back out, then drop out cleanly for the interlude and the ending. At BPM = 129 the job is the feel.
