Just the way you are - Billy Joel / Liberty Devitto - with drums 

Version without drums: • Just the way you are -...
- The drums part is identical to the original.
- Liberty Devitto used a brush and a stick, a technique he used as well on Rosalinda's Eyes.
- Being an easy machinelike drumbeat, the challenge lies in keeping a consistent & groovy beat without playing the kick on 1.
- Try to play the brush a little diagonally to have a smoother sound.
- No click, this song has been recorded live without metronome, so the tempo is slightly floating. Listen to the guitar and the shaker to lock in.
- The play-along was taken from "Off the Record", a play-along study book by Manhattan Music, published by DCI.
