    This tune was an instrumental written for steel guitar. The style is Western Swing, so it's gonna have the best feel if you engage the swing mode in your settings. The tempo is slow. The challenge here is in the syncopations. Syncopation is when a note or rhythm is played on an off beat. That happens a lot here. That's also one of the hallmarks of Swing. When learning something new, remember to listen as much as you play. There's al;so wealth of great licks in the lick switcher so be sure to check those out!
