Off the Wall


Fifth Chorus Breakdown

Fifth chorus of "Off the Wall." Sometimes it's easier to play certain things at normal tempo rather than slowed down, so in this instance I'm not slowing it down in the demonstration or telling you what holes I'm blowing or drawing. Use the slow-down feature to pick out the individual notes. Once you've got the chorus in your head and can play along with the slowed down tempo, just keep doing it until your muscle memory incorporates it and you can increase the tempo to the speed I play in the performance.
