various bootleg CDs. The version included on Music Bank is
live and doesn't feature the nice lead guitar. I recently
discovered that this song dates back to the glam days, before
Jerry Cantrell was in the band. I heard this performed on a
concert tape from 1986! I assume the lead guitar was something
Jerry added to the song in the studio, as I've never heard this
played live with two guitars.
Gtr.1 is a brittle sounding six string electric with a chorus
effect. The struming pattern is pretty simple, but to
get it right you'll need to listen to the song or the rhythm
probably won't sound the same.
