Off the Wall


Seventh Chorus Breakdown

This chorus, coming out of the drum break, begins with a riff that's repeated eight times with certain little variations which I explain. Lots of octaves in this one. Be sure to reference the performance version, as well as this breakdown, so you get it in context.

On to the last chorus next week.
