Jeez barely two weeks to either acquire a hot rod Lincoln or learn that freakin riff - I chose the more difficult option and almost got the riff down:
Good Luck to Us All
Thanks Sajeev, Julie, et al at Hagerty!
Thanks for the generous compliment! I resort to gimmickry only when necessary...and it was never more necessary.
Not gimmickry, it's a "flair for theatrics".
I gave that song a shot. I now realise that you are probably supposed to be using alternate picking, instead of just downstrokes.
