Its linear in fashion, and the sticking is FLLRRLLF RLLRRLLF, with the right hand coming over to the snare for 2 & 4. These notes are played as 32nd notes, against a moderately slow beat.

As usual, my video camera is lousy and wont pick up any subtle playing, but in reality the lick is played with softer grace notes than Im playing here, and a little bit slower.

I start the video off playing it REAL slow, so you can hopefully grasp how the sticking falls, then I bring it up to a workable speed.

Enjoy!   less
