   This is a short video of me messing around with a Mozambique groove, in the style of “Late in the Evening” by Paul Simon. My apologies for the abrupt ending. I think my phone got a text message and it killed the video.

   Enjoy!

   Manic Depression Groove

   This groove was originally done by Mitch Mitchell with Jimi Hendrix. It’s in 3/4 time, and is a killer groove with lots going on. Enjoy!
