Your tone should be energetic and rhythmic. Accent every note, varying the accents each time you play. Once played lightly and up to speed, the ornament should flow naturally. It’s worth trying out this technique for the entire song.
It has no crescendo/decrescendo markings but listen to the actual track Used to Love to memorize expressions.
It is a simple one-note melody and can become repetitive if not coloured imaginatively and played with rhythmic poise.
The rhythm is dotted but easy. There is some trend in modern EDM to change harmony chords before the beat and Martin Garrix follows this trend in Used to Love.
There are no chords. While it might seem counterintuitive to use the left thumb to reach down for single bass notes, it ensures a smooth, decisive downward progression.
