Dave Samuels' favourite chords: the Constant Structure trick -V

Dave is one of my hero and I was lucky enough to study with him during high school. He used to come every year in Italy and doing summer camps where I learned a ton about his way of playing.

Somewhere Over the Rainbow

This is a shortened version of David F's beautiful arrangement (I left out his solo in the middle). My goal was to have it sing with expression and still stay in time. I wanted a faster tempo, but this was what I could manage for now. It's been a fabulous lesson in pedaling/dampening and making good use of all 4 sticks. I studied David's Youtube video quite a bit in the process of memorizing it phrase by phrase.
