DAMN GOOD (good times) - STEVE VAI / DAVID LEE ROTH
CD: Skyscraper
The Key is: D mixolydian
Time signature: 4/4
This piece is played by Steve Vai on a 12 string guitar, but it works abso-
lutely fine on on 6 string guitar. Apart form the (very present) voice of
David Lee Roth, a backwards solo makes this song complete.
Read them and smile!
