Notes: The first break is similar to what Eric Weissberg, Bill Keith, and others played in the 1960s and contains that OJC run useful in so many tunes (perhaps Weissberg created it?). The second break is more the way I play it today, with lots of drive coming from forward rolls (in Bill Keith's terminology; I used to call it "walking up the strings"). Either version is worth adding to your arsenal.
