Candy Man

Description

Get the first lick down and a lot of the others will be close to being solved. The notes used and the rhythm are the basis of what we'll be playing in the lead guitar for much of this song. Truly funky blues feel and just sparse enough to just be tasty and perfectly responding to the vocal.

A good thing to do - if it seems like there's lots of lead guitar all over the song and it's just one big solo - is to take it bit by bit and take frequent breaks. Learn the intro, have a sandwich and come back to learn the verse. It'll benefit you in the end with songs like this that have just so many licks through the whole song.
