This tune is just flat out fun to play! It's in the key of "A," but it's in the myxolodian mode which means there's a little twist to the sound. I know you're gonna love it!

    Question on the tab — is that a hammer-on or a slide going into the B part? Sounds like a slide to my ear but the tab reads hammer.

    Count it out loud. Everyone says it and everyone's right.

    Same here at first. What fixed it for me was practicing that measure by itself for a week, no B part at all.

    Welcome aboard — you picked a good one to start on.

    Try measure 3 on its own at half tempo, and keep your right hand rolling even when the left hand is behind. The right hand is the metronome.

    That's the one that made me finally understand backup. Stick with it.
