This song is based around two chord progressions, on is as 2 bar loop with minor chords, a dominant sus4 chord (G7sus4 that sounds great!) and a really tasty riff that is based on the A minor pentatonic scale. There is also a little double stop move based on the piano rhythm that is used to go from the D minor to the G7sus4 that sounds great. The other progression has an F to E7 move, a b2 interval change that sounds very sinister and the A minor progression with the root moving down through Am, AmMaj7, Am7, Am6, that sounds so good. There are also times when you will get into a groove with 16th notes, which means you will have down strums on the 1s and the &s and up strums between. There are also changes of the off beat which contribute to a really interesting and fun groove. Enjoy learning this tune
