Notes From John
Shuffle feel. Ghosts are marked. BPM = 124, slowly speed up. Outro lands free time.
For the player
Chris “Whipper” Layton on Texas Flood — back-of-the-beat shuffle under Stevie’s Strat. Don’t straighten the eighths. Play the ghosts soft enough to hear the pocket, not loud enough to become a second backbeat. John marked the climb: start at BPM = 124 and let it rise; Verse/Chorus 3 sits near 128. Outro ritards into free time at BPM = 63 — don’t keep the click through that last crash. Listen to the record first; the chart is the map, Layton’s feel is the destination.
