Example
1
–
just
a
bar
of
sixteenths,
the
root
of
a
dominant
chord.
Example
2
-‐
adjust
a
few
notes
until
something
melodic,
but
not
too
hard
to
play,
sits

and
begs
to
be
heard.

notes

chord

this.
Example
3
–

to
work,
and
add
the
chord

above

Example
4
–
make
a
few
adjustments
to
the
rhythm
by
taking
sound

Example
5
–

the
rhythm
around
a
bit,
but
just
a
bit.
