Marlowe, thanks man. This line gave me an hour of fun, trying to get some playing in in the early hours of the morning before my 2 year old daughter got up to rock da house. I played parts of it, all of it, changed the groove, slapped it, and it all sounded cool. Thanks for the inspiration. Whoops, I hear her rising now. Time to break away from the rock & roll lifestyle and be a daddy again.

Do you have tabs anywhere for these fills?

[diggablemanny]

How on earth do I learn that. I can hear it, but simply just cannot play it, I can't tell the notes.

Marlowe, when are you appear on camera in drag? Just be sure you have your normal, serious look on your face.
