Notice
This "good-time" rock 'n' roll track features some great rhythm and lead guitar playing and is not that hard to master. C.C. DeVille combines small chord-voicings with ringing first position chords for the rhythm parts, in the great tradition of Keith Richards and the Rolling Stones. This chordal approach is featured throughout the song. C.C.'s solo is based on the A Mixolydian mode (A,B,C#,D,E,F#,G) primarily, with brief use of A pentatonic minor (A,C,D,E,G). The most difficult riff is in bar nine; try to play these fast legato hammer-ons as smoothly as possible, as this riff by itself is a great chops-builder. Bars 13-15 feature some tough stuff, too, so take it slow and don't force it. The song ends with a cadenza in the tradition of Ritchie Blackmore based on the A Blues scale (A,C,D,Eb,E,G) with the inclusion of the major third (C#).
