Tune Breakdown: Out on the Ocean

In this video, I breakdown Out on the Ocean in more detail. I discuss backbeat in compound meters and where to add ornaments like B cuts, A finger vibrato, E cuts, and G rolls.

If these techniques and ornaments are new to you, be sure to check the companion resources below for videos on how to play them. There are also links to sheet music, slow tune learning, and play alongs for Out on the Ocean.

While breaking down the tune, I refer to phrases A1, B1, and B2. Here is the complete tune map for your reference:
