// 150 bpm, 4/4, key D major. Source: midi.
// Generated by strudelify. One cycle = one bar.
// note: pitch bends are ignored
// note: ch 7 "GUITAR E.1" named as a guitar, played on electric guitar clean (its electric bass pick patch is not one); ch 8 "GUITAR E.2" named as a guitar, played on electric guitar clean (its electric bass pick patch is not one); ch 11 "GUITAR STEEL 2" named as a guitar, played on acoustic guitar steel (its pad metallic patch is not one)
// note: sustain pedal (CC 64) lengthens the held notes
// note: duplicate parts dropped: ch 4 "BASS F.2" electric bass finger (copy of ch 3 "BASS A.1" acoustic bass); ch 11 "GUITAR STEEL 2" acoustic guitar steel (copy of ch 9 "GUITAR STEEL 1" electric guitar jazz)
// note: Full arrangement: all 131 bars on a 16-step grid, each part at one level. Source detail keeps the original performance.
