This bluesy piece takes a short riff (a catchy musical idea that is repeated) and then ramps it up, little by little. Start nice and slow, scouting the territory and mapping your course. By the second statement, you’ll have accumulated some experience and can move with more flow and ease. Having mastered this pattern, you’ll now climb all the way to the top of the ramp where you can gather maximum momentum for the obstacle course you’re about to dive into. Take a deep breath, stay calm, and go for it!
