Nice and smooth song, really easy and fun to add some tasty fills and licks.
Hope ya'll enjoy!
Difficulty is about a 4.5/10 on this one.
Counting it in semiquavers to get the feel easier to understand (count "One ee and ah" on each beat)
Ive mapped out when the notes occur above each staff in relation to this.
I've realised the bass kinda follows the rhythm of the vocal melody at most parts, along with the drums in the
triplet fills.
EDIT: I'm only 3 years later realising that this song is in 12/8 time signature, so all the notes can be felt
in groups of 3, all as triplets in relation to 4/4 (1 & a 2 & a 3 & a 4 & a) or (123,456,123,456)
Using the time marks in relation to this video (which I'm sure is the same for spotify and itunes etc)

No Bass for first verse (Its played with acoustic guitar low strings)
(Can still play main riff during it, but I think always best to add the extra dynamic of bass when the chorus
hits if you're playing with a band)

This would be a LOT easier to follow if there were bars to indicate where the measures are. I was very disappointed in myself that I had so much trouble following what was going on without the lyrics under the notes or having the measures separated. Seems to be fun if I can work it out! 🤔 😊
