Spirit Fingers setlist — everything you need to learn the music

Hit play on any song. A player docks at the bottom of the screen and stays with you as you scroll — scrub, change speed (0.25–2×, pitch preserved), rewind 10s, set an A–B loop to drill a tricky passage, and jump between songs. It remembers your spot, so you can close the tab and pick up exactly where you left off.

Each song also has sheet music, reference videos, Spotify, and Dropbox folders. The charts sometimes use different forms than the recordings — use them for the written lines; we follow the form of the audio. Press? for keyboard shortcuts. Bookmark practice.therecording.club.

Bass starts with an improvisation, leads into the ostinato that Piano joins. The video is most accurate to how we'll play this tune. The essentials are the ostinato, the form, and the chord changes.

All unison lines played by full ensemble precisely. Feel should be reminiscent of the reference video, with the tabla sort of swing. Vocals should be sung by a lead and at least one backup.
