Simple Man – Lynyard Skynyrd – Verse

This two-measure groove is heard throughout the verse sections of Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Simple Man" – a fan favourite from the band's debut album "Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd" (1973).
The slow groove is mainly comprised of dotted eighth/sixteenth notes in voice 2. However, in the last two beats, the bass and snare sound in-between the hi-hat notes – adding rhythmic interest to the otherwise straight-ahead groove.
