Notes From John
John’s combined Rhythm/Lead part, capo 2 in G shapes at BPM = 139. Let-ring arpeggios through the verses, driving eighth-note chords into the chorus, single-note lines and an instrumental melody, then a slower outro that ends on a held note.
For the player
Let the verse arpeggios ring into each other and keep the picking even. The eighth-note chord drives push the band into the chorus, then the single-note lines answer the vocal; serve the riff, don’t thicken it. Ease into the slower outro and hold the last note. At BPM = 139 the job is the feel.
