Description
Notes From John
BPM = 142. The lead sits out the four-bar intro and comes in with reverb in the first verse. A low single-note line walks E to D, with quarter-step bends on the A to G turns. The solo climbs higher, and it ends on a held open E.
For the player
This is Poison Ivy’s surf part from the 1981 recording, so aim for a twangy tone and plenty of spring reverb. Stay under the vocal in the verses, letting the low line answer the singer instead of covering the words. Keep the quarter-step bends subtle so they read as twang, not full bends. Let the final open E ring under the fermata. At BPM = 142 the job is the feel.
