Album: Blackstar (2016)
This is my interpretation for a standalone guitar, mixing guitar, sax and bass elements.
- Verses: I play a mini-riff a the end of each line. See below.
- Outro: you can improvise a solo in C major scale (or hypodorian A mode ?), inspired by the intro riff.
- Advice for novices: you’re not obliged to play riffs. And in the bridge you can leave out the bass
notes of Eb D/F# D/C chords.
