Tied Rhythms, Latin Groove with Fill
This is a complex groove with a Latin feel. Play through it without the ties several times then add the ties back in one by one if you need to. It is recorded at 120Bpm as well so that nice off-beat based Latin character can come through. There is a variation at the end of the phrase quite high up the neck, look at that separately to be able to play it seamlessly with the main groove.
