NOTE: The "a" counts in the next 16 counts are quarter counts. Imagine you are counting a song as 1&a2, 3&a4. That is exactly how these counts work, except in this case there is no "&" count. Also, take small steps on the "a" counts because they are very quick. If they're too quick for you, just do the "a" step on the "&" count instead.
