Description
Notes From John
BPM = 155. The bass sits out for eight bars and comes in with a single high slide. The verses bounce between root and fifth, with rests in between. The choruses switch to steady eighth notes. A run down from the 13th fret leads into the last verse, which drops the rests and drives straight eighths to the end.
For the player
Miley cut this as Hannah Montana for Disney Channel Holiday in 2007. Brenda Lee’s 1958 part swings at 142, but this one runs straight and faster. Wait out the intro, then hit it cold. Keep the verse rests short and clean, and let the last verse push. At BPM = 155 the job is the feel.
