Description
Notes From John
BPM = 141. Swung. Tune down a half step. The bass rests through the intro, then slides in from the 14th fret. The first chorus is quarter-note roots that open up to eighths later. The second verse adds long ties and climbs to the 12th fret. The last bar slides down to an open string.
For the player
It’s a wall-of-sound tune played by a rock band at a soundcheck. Your part is roots, nothing fancier. The lift from quarters to eighths is yours to give. Ride the downbeat and let the drums and Darlene Love do the shouting. At BPM = 141 the job is the feel.
