The Ballad of Bodacious by Primus
from the album Antipop
Okay, I don't know if the techniques are all just right,
but the notes are.
The notes on figure 1 with the "v" on top are
played staccato (do not let the note ring)
The first fill is an accident, I think, but it sounds cool
(Les hits both 9's with his finger)
