Ballad of Bodacious

Song

The Ballad of Bodacious by Primus

from the album Antipop

Okay, I don't know if the techniques are all just right,

but the notes are.

The notes on figure 1 with the "v" on top are

played staccato (do not let the note ring)

The first fill is an accident, I think, but it sounds cool

(Les hits both 9's with his finger)
