I saw this posted in another forum and thought it would make for a good thread.
Was there one particular song, when you were starting out, that really kicked your butt? How were you able to work through it? Did you figure it out on your own or did you you get a teacher to help you through it?
For me it was the song "Master Blaster" by Stevie Wonder. I wasn't playing it in a band but I loved the tune and wanted so badly to know how to play those quarter note triplet fills (particularly at 2:58). It took me awhile to figure out the phrasing but finally managed to "hear it / count it" on my own. It was a major break-through!
