Hot Rock

The Hot Rock, "Hot Rock"

I love how this song is put together.  The guitars mix and mingle in counterpoint. The main riff does a call and response thing.  Riff 2 is the lull before the storm ending with a slight "discord" for tension. Riff's 3 adds the excitement.  Riff 4 (played only once) is the peak.

  • Quarter note = 140 or so
  • Standard tuning.
  • Tabbed where it felt good on the fretboard. (lot's of other ways to do it though)
