This is a song that I got addicted to after constantly listening to Earth after
I received it as a gift over Christmas. The song calls for rhythm, a constant lead guitar,
and another lead guitar to key in the fills. While the song has much guitar to it, it also
relies heavily on keyboards, which can either be a blessing or get in the way. I tried
to get down as much of the lead guitar as I could, but for this track, the lead is really
hard to pick up and piece out admidst all the keyboard fills. After a while I just quit, but
it ought to give a good example of the placement and the scale used for the lead. It's
catchy and you'll like it like a good pair of slippers: warm, fuzzy, and so hard to
take off.
