Kick
in / Main theme riff
This is the full band kick
in. What I've done here is alter the "La Grange" main riff into
something that's more VH and less ZZ... This is one of those riffs where
there's a lot of little stuff going on, and all of it is really important to the
riff.. See video for additional help..

*TIP**:
Apply a dead stop mute to the "A" Power chord or double stop hits
in this riff..

Solo
#1
This is the mellower of the
two solos on this track. BUT, there are a few tricky parts to this
solo just the same.. It's a mix of things.. It's kind of an Unchained
meets Bottoms up meets La Grange kind of solo.. Take it slow, and remember
I tab things out in phrasing sections. So you should be able to have the
solo pay in the background and simply follow the tabs with your finger.
It's all laid out very logically below. See video lesson
for help..

*Solo
is done over the same Riffing as the main theme, BUT it begins in "C", then
transitions back to "A" for the second half of the solo.
C *main riffing..
C, Eb, F.

Solo
#2
This solo is just all improv,
so that made it a bit of a bear for me to TAB out... But what's below
is a very accurate representation of what's on the mp3.. Some stretching
is needed, and some idea of a shuffle feel is needed in order to keep the vibe
so to speak. The whole thing is set to the basic theme of the Ice Cream
man solo..
It should also be noted that the
key of the song changes forever from here to "E minor". This solo is
done over a traditional "E, A, B" blues chord pattern. A.K.A. a "1, 4, 5"
chord pattern. See video for additional help..

*apply
vibrato to all chord shapes below. Do this by shaking the guitar and
moving your hand back and forth as you sound out the chords. Also keep a
good grip on the chord. Vibratoing can cause slippage... Also please
note that the chords in the tab are "E7, D#7, etc.etc. The chords in Blue
are indicating what chords the rhythm guitar is playing...

Outro Riffing out to song ending
This is yet another VH style
variation on the "La Grange" riffing. In this case we're now in the
key of "E minor" thanks to our mock Ice Cream man thing. This portion is
just something that VH might do as an ending. It's traditional in this
guitar style to do endings that only resemble the rest of the song.. In
this case here, I've added in some harmonics, and also some newer VH style
techniques. Almost Balance era kind of light pick harmonic riffing..

*apply
a very light palm mute, and a very light touch with the pick on the strings.
Be sure to choke up on the pick, and get a semi-harmonic on the notes with an
asterisk next to them..
