This is Groove 49 from Tommy Igoe's Groove Essentials 2.0. Tommy said this is one of the toughest tunes in the book and he wasn't kiddin'!!! It is obviously not the complexity of the tune that makes it difficult but the tempo. The key here is SUBDIVIDE SUBDIVIDE SUBDIVIDE. I subdivided using 16th notes. The other aspect that is VERY important is not to get so caught up in the time that you forget to build the tune and be musical with what you choose to play against the time. TRICKY TUNE!!!
