Quick and dirty play-along to Garbage’s 1995 song “Stupid Girl” from their eponymous first album.

The song has a single groove all the way from start to finish, the only variation from the hi-hat being the ride during the choruses and instrumental sections. Tempo is 120 bpm. So, the challenge here is to play the same groove in the pocket for four and a half minutes – which I managed for about 99% of the song, lol.
