Cleveland Rocks

Description

The last chorus starts out with only vocals and keyboards for 8 bars. Then the rhythm guitar comes in and builds up the chorus even more and when the progression changes to F, D, and A we're going to play our outro solo.

We'll start with these phrases just bending up that B one whole step and releasing it to B again and down to A. Do it twice.

Then we move on to another old school rock lick, just walk down between A, F#, and E, and the third time end with an open A string.

Then we're gonna go back to the first lick gain but add another hit on the A note.

After that we're gonna move on to another "Chuck Berry" influenced lick, so you're just bending the B up one whole step and barring the C# and F# with your index finger.

Then we jump all the way down to F on the first fret and do this lick where you start on F then slide up between G and A, then C to D, and end on F.

Next we're going to play the same intervals but over a D, starting with the open D, then E to F#, then A to B, and end on D.

After this we're gonna move on to a really cool double stop part.
Start by grabbing C# and E on the G and the B string, then move that same shape up a minor third and continue up one whole step with the same shape. End the phrase by going chromatically down two half steps.
Pay attention to where I switch from 16th notes to 8ths.

Next we're going to do two very similar licks. You start up on the 13th fret of the B string by hitting C, then bend up the G one whole step and release, ending on C again.

Then we're simply going to move the lick down a minor third and base the lick out of A, with the same intervals and bends.

To end the solo and the song we're going into the outro hits. We're going to play this walk up from E to F# to G#, and ending on A. In the next set of hits you'll play A, B, and C#, bending the C# twice.

Next we bend on C#, release down to B, and end on A twice. To end the lead guitar, once again we bend on C#, release down to B and walk down to A ... but this time keep going down and end on E!
