Tuned down 1/2-step
Comments: Love this opening riff. As usual the guitars are panned hard left
(Paul) and right (Ace) with a few more guitars thrown in for good measure
(Ace's lead guitar comes in during the first two choruses to play Rhy. Fig 7
and also to double Rhy. Fig 2). I think that the solo is a little out of
character for Ace. Those half-step bends and releases on the 9th actually
sound more like Paul but towards the end Ace shows his true colors with his
signature sixteenth-note triplet slurs descending through a minor pentatonic
scale. The notes in parenthesis in Rhy. Fig 3 are played every once in a
while and is a result of Paul keeping time with the pick to make the rhythm
more comfortable.
