**********************************************************************

Solo; (1:34-1:44)
Note: A very interesting rhythmic pattern of 11/16. Much more intricate
 than
your standard 4/4.  Start real slow to perfect the feel of the odd
meter, especially if you lack experience performing odd-metered work, 
it
will not sound right if you try and do it in a even meter.

Time Signature 11/16
