      Also part of the JB sound that it has a bit of a lower-mid hump which is easier to record(and play back). Also what makes them work so well in a 3 piece, they fill out the sound

    back in college one day in 1978, my buddy and I plugged in our guitars. Now Carl was the actual musician. Me, I was a hack, but did have some training, can hit the chords, bars and all, and when it comes to lead I can fake it and stay in key. We jammed for about 20 minutes and had hundreds of people out behind the dorm feeling good. It was a spring day in Rhode Island

    One of the greatest 4-chord songs of all time (OK, 5 if you count the Bb at the end.) And a timeless lead that's easily one of the Top 5 in the history of rock and roll (I know, there's no such thing since it's all subjective, but still ...) It's not necessarily an easy lead to learn but the stripped down version of it is fairly easy to play with a bit of practice. You can play most of it with about 6-8 notes. Very nice job for a three- piece having to play without a full setup.

Seeing as this is 2012 I hope they have got from the street to a stage and became a 4/5 piece. Couldn't care less how they dressed - when you play on the street your clothes get hacky from the traffic fumes. Drummer probz looked stressed thinking - I coulda smoked that tab lolz.
