Notes From John
The CS-80 part in B at BPM = 189, swung: stacked chords in both hands, pulsing in quarter notes that fade every bar, with a quarter-note delay to simulate. Triplet pushes in the later choruses, held chords at the end.
For the player
Play the quarter-note chords short and let each bar fade; the delay does the bouncing. Both hands move together, so keep the voicings even and serve the riff, don’t thicken it. Lean into the triplet pushes only where they’re written. At BPM = 189 the job is the feel.
