Elton John Band - 'The Wasteland' from the Songs from the West Coast Album. I really like this song - has a really strong, driving bass line and good bluesy roots. Excellent bit of drumming from Nigel on this track too :) Each bar works on the basis of - 'quaver-crotchet', 'quaver-crotchet', 'quaver-crotchet', 'quaver-crotchet', with the accent leaning heavily on the crotchet. Here I have either written all four pairs of notes as the 4 roots, or just one note to be carried through the bar. ENJOY!!!
Ps....I can't tell you what to shout before the track starts....only something along the lines of... A moment? We might just begin? Right about.. ONE! ONE!! TWO! TWO!! ONE TWO A Hundred and... OH MY GOD!!!!
