My condolences go out to Robby Steinhardt's family. My patrons already knew that I wanted to do this one today. I shared the whole summer of 69 song list and dates for each video with them before I started posting them, but it just so happened that he passed away this week. May he rest in peace.

Original bassist on the song: Dave Hope (1970-1983)
He used a pick and a P Bass

I got this as a request, but I had actually been working on it for quite some time before. It's a classic song that's great and fun to play, although a little tricky.
As Far as tabbing it out, the 12/8 section could be read as 4/4 but with triplets instead. Either way is fine and the notes are the same. I actually decided to make it 4/4 after showing the tab in the live stream. I think it's clearer that way.

Anoteher point to note is the fast part with the pull offs in the interlude can either be played open, or on frets 5 and 7. Some people in the stream said they like one way, some said the open strings is easier. Take your pick :)

These live videos showed me that the bassist wasn't important to the appearance of the band. The camera is practically never on him.

(Bassist = Billy Greer[1985-present])
1:26 main riff
5:01 - the 0-0-7-7 followed up by 5 and 7

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVH-u9gIy8s
0:42 - 0-0-7-7 you can see. Billy Greer doesn't do a hammer on from 5 to 7
3:22 - fast triplets (like bar 107) Billy does 0 and 2 camera follows billy b/c of backing vocals
4:53 - end of solo you can see billy. Seems like 0-0-1-2-0-0-7-7 (Bars 150 and 151)
5:19 - next solo, you can see part of BIlly's positioning. He does not slide up

(BIlly is right up front in the beginning and using a pick)
You can see Billy here for most of the song

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGZdNOYrbzY (This Dave hope one showed a couple slight blips of him. Nothing useful)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCEN5TrB-RU
2:55 - FInally a Dave Hope video that you can see him. He plays the fast triplets at 5 and 7 rather than 0 and 2 like Billy Greer
3:36 Dave uses a pick
I love how active Steve Walsh is in this show

Thanks for watching! Enjoy :)
