Futures So Bright

o Simple song; it's all in the feel. The part marked "intro" is

really a lick that can (should) be thrown in (with variations)

wherever the song has an "A" chord. Partial palm muting helps.

o Besides, this is the first solo I ever figured out from a record.

Look at it and you'll see why. :-)

artist: Timbuk 3

song: The Future's So Bright I Gotta Wear Shades
