Thanks for the lesson!

I grew up listening to the Sonics on the radio, going to dances at roller rinks to see them. Still have 2 or 3 of their albums

[@funandeasyguitarwithjimpau9875]

Cool story Willie got any roller rink pics?

[@willieb3765]

@@funandeasyguitarwithjimpau9875 never took a camera with me, and was too busy dancing. If you google Lake Hills, Bellevue washington you will see photos people did take

Excellent! Thanks

This is the lesson a boy from Kent can use, thanks Jim & Paul . My favorite part of the song is the UH HUH vocal.

That's such a cool song
Heard it in a movie a few nights ago. Gonna teach it to my band. Seems like it's tricky to sing while playing that riff at the same time, but you nailed it. Y'all sounded great.

[@funandeasyguitarwithjimpau9875]

Thanks! Hope your band kills it

[@funandeasyguitarwithjimpau9875]

Thanks, I would sometimes drop back or simplify and let the bass player or other guitar (if you got it) handle the riff.

[@StillPointStudio]

Is there any possibility that this song is played at the 7th fret? That's where I typically play it, and it sounds closer, to my ears, to the record as it has that hollow vibe at that register on the neck. I guess it doesn't matter too much where you play it, because it can be played anywhere on the neck. I say give it a try, then listen to the original Sonics recording and see if you can hear the similarities at that position. I could be wrong, but it also sounds like flatwounds were used. The Sonics' recordings were so raw sounding back then, probably not even mixed properly, so it's kinda hard to tell. Anyway, great educational video on a classic song. :)

Simon Chardiet does a great version of this song, too.

[@funandeasyguitarwithjimpau9875]

Yes, Simon is great! I lived in NYC for 10 years & saw him many times. Even played with him once

Hi! What’s the chord progression on the rhythm guitar? Is it G C D# C? Thanks!! 😎

[@stOneh3ad]

it’s C F G F, basically a I - IV - V - IV progression in the key of C major, if i’m not wrong
