Description
There are 2 clean electric guitars featured in this song. Guitar 1 plays rockabilly style rhythms and licks with a slap echo sound, while Guitar 2 strums the chord progressions throughout.
The arrangement is based on a 12 bar blues but amped up to a quick tempo with a bouncy groove. The original recording is in the key of Bb, but we’ve transposed the song one half step down to the guitar friendly key of A major.
In the following lessons, we’ll talk about open, power, and extended chords, a cut time swing groove, and some classic twangy rockabilly approaches. We are in the key of A major, with a 4/4 time signature, at a tempo of 236 BPM.
