The piece is in the key of A minor. Play the notes an octave higher than they are written.
Play the E with your left hand thumb.
Play the G with your right hand thumb.
Play the A with your right hand index finger.
Play the B with your right hand middle finger.
Play the C with your right hand ring finger.
Play the D with your right hand little finger.
The riff consists of a pick up note and then three bars of seven beats followed by a bar of nine beats.
30 main notes.
Keep repeating the four complete bars!
To get the spacey, reverb effect keep your sustain pedal down the whole time.
Don't try and count the beats - just relax and let the hypnotic nature of the music carry you along!
