Author: AA23 Email: [email protected] The timing on this is funky and only approximate because the triplet is really more swing time. Listen to the song and it'll be easy.

This break sounds strange because it's not what the horns are playing (especially the second time through). Basic structure... Intro: Riff1 (2x) Riff1 (8x) Riff2 (5x) Riff3 (1x)
