Description
There are 2 guitar layers in this song. Guitar 1 is a clean electric guitar that gives the tune its bounce. Guitar 2 is an acoustic guitar with a capo on the 1st fret that strums to establish the groove.
The intro features a cool melody from Guitar 1 that sets the vibe. The band kicks into the groove and settles into the first verse. The bridge continues the feel of the song with a different chord progression. There is also a guitar solo that features some great country blues licks.
