// 148 bpm, 4/4, key C major. Source: midi.
// Generated by strudelify. One cycle = one bar.
// note: sustain pedal (CC 64) lengthens the held notes
// note: duplicate parts dropped: ch 5 "BUDDY HOLLY" electric guitar jazz (copy of ch 3 "GUITAR" electric guitar clean)
// note: Full arrangement: all 61 bars on a 16-step grid, each part at one level; ghost notes are separate "_soft" parts. Source detail keeps the original performance.

// A part's distinct bars are riffs (A, B, C...) played in order: edit a riff to change every repeat.
