A few tips
- The run at the end of the verse goes fast. E, D, C#, B, one right after the other.
- The prechorus is silence. Everybody stops. Count it out and come back in together on the chorus.
- Second time through, wait longer. There's an extra pause before that chorus. Don't jump it.
- The solo is just the verse again. Know the verse and you know the solo.
If you're wondering why it sounds the way it does, that's in Polaroid and the Mixolydian mode. Learn it against the record on Spotify, and if you're around, come hear it at one of our Stoke Club shows.
