This song is fun to play, especially if you have a Wah Pedal. It is played with a Capo on fret 2. The part that gets more intense in the solo should be played funk style, which means that you strum all the string muted except for the notes indicated.

This is a fun song for riffs. There are two main riffs, the verse and the chorus and they are repeated throughout the song. The solo is simple, just fast picking and a few slow bands with guitar effects.

This song is simple on the surface, but it requires a lot of energy to keep the strumming going the whole song and there is a second guitar part that is hard to replicate. The chords are simple, but pay attention to the strumming and the DS on measure 14 that takes you back to measure 3.
The Solo is below the lead sheet. It’s in F# Minor Pentatonic scale position 1 and 2.
During the Verse and Chorus, there is second guitar that plays harmonics and high pitch chords. From my research, it is played with a Nashville Tuning which consist of changing the lower 4 strings of the guitar to a lighter gauge, in order to tune those strings one octave higher. I am not sure about that, as I don’t have a guitar to try this with, but if someone knows more about it, please give me a shout at patrice@paliatsky.com.

Great challenging song both for the rhythm and the solo part. The latter is fast and technical. Watch out for the repeats. Note that the tempo changes throughout the song, as it wasn’t recorded with a metronome like nowadays, but the good ol’ way of feeling the music.

This song is quite fun to play, because it sounds simple, but it’s intricate in its on way. The octave chords G#8, F#8 and E8 are played on the A string with the open B string ringing. During the verse, there are some variations of the E chord with an Esus4 (add6), but it is not essential to the song.
