      @@RobBeatdownBrown Not to be a pain or anything but can we get a notation version because I love your videos but it takes me ages to master the groove unless I write the notation and there is no notation here so I have to write from what you play which isn't easy.

    For all the people who be wanting the notation, a word of advice: Write the notation yourself! Yes, you’re going to have to keep going back and re-listening a hundred times, but believe me, it’s worth it! You will know the groove inside and out, and it’s also great practice in deep listening. Just try it!

Your vids always get right to the essentials, thanks for the reminders, it helps me reel em (and myself haha) back in!!🙏🏻🔥🥁
