I need some help with this song. I've been asked to play with a band at a Hard Rock, and this is one of the songs I've been asked to learn, but I can't seem to get the lick. How would you experienced guys play this?
your not the first person to have trouble with this riff i would post a sample if that was easy to do here but it's not
if you start on the one draw it is back and forth between the 3 and 2 blow to the 3 draw bend the second part of the riff is 6 blow 5 draw 4 draw 4 draw bend 4 blow 3 draw bend 2 draw check out gary moore's version on you tube hope this helps
