This song only has really one chord, So the way you play it is important.
The first stroke is down and muted, the second is up (dont mute this.)
E:
D#----------0------------| A#----------0------------| F#----1-----1------------| C#----2------------------| G#----2------------------| D#----0------------------|
That one chord is the most of the song, but there are a few add-ins which John Lee uses
spice it up a bit.
1.
D#----------0------------| A#----------0------------| F#----------1------------| C#-----------------------| G#-----------------------| D#----0(*)---------------|
* - put your pick under the string and pull up as hard as you can, gets a real
sound too it. Gotta love John Lee.
2.
D#----------0------------| A#----------0------------| F#---0h1----1------------| C#-----------------------| G#-----------------------| D#-----------------------|
h - hammer on
Note: To get this playing pattern down you need to listen to the song a few times, and
will get it. takes some practice, as I am still learning this myself, but it gets
as you go. Good Luck, have fun.
