[Solo over prechorus chords]
Again, this solo is based mainly on pentatonic ideas. The length is once
through the prechorus progression. Double the length if you want to solo
a bit longer. Work those bends and kick some more emotion into an already
emotional song!
[Drum fill]
(Chorus again, but endings)
F (upstroke)
But don't look back in anger
Fm
Dont look back in anger
C
I heard you say
Once more through the verse progression, then end on:
C
At least not today
