This basically pedals on F, plus F an octave down. The bass fills out the root notes chord
changes, playing 0, 3 and 5, or F, Ab and Bb.

Verse 'Techy' groove
Another one of those riffs I can't really tab the syncopation for, so here's one rotation.
C |----------------8-0-7-0---12-0-0-10-0-----------------------------------------|
G |------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Eb|-------------------------------------x-x--------------------------------------|
Bb|------9---10-------------------------x-x---9-10-------------------------------|
F |-------------------------------------x-x--------10-10-10\5--------------------|
Bb|-7---7-7-7---7---------7-------------x-x-7-------------------7----------------|
triplet
The drums and melodic progression are simple - 32 bars of 4/4. After 7 and a half repeats
of the above riff, it joins up with the end of the 32 bars and starts at the beginning of
the phrase. To play riffs like these it's important to internalise all the syncopations.
I don't think of this riff, or any of my riffs, in the subdivisions; instead I feel this
as one long piece of syncopation across 32 bars of 4/4.
