hope you are playing it loud now!

Hes playing open D string. Its imo easier.

@@crazymonkey8389 It is actually rediculous to play it hitting the 5th fret, I think live their guitarist plays the open D too

@@Brandon2940 i used to do open d too but 5th fret on the A string sounds heavier

@@Brandon2940 I used to do the open note too but it makes the transition into the phrase where they add the g string into it a bit more difficult/complex? soo I just go for the D note on the A string because it makes it easier to play the full phrase

Mark Wither Oh yes, and I have a video that’ll make your ears bleed

...and maybe your eyes cuz I ain’t a looker

I do indeed! Have had it for just about a year. :)

They do have expensive ones and cheap ones too I also have one too 😀

I am! I’m cheating and using an open string here. Playing effectively the Rock Band 3 Pro Guitar tab. It’s “incorrect”, but I like playing it that way better.

Vernon Reid -- The Guitarist of Living Colour -- comes from a jazz background, so he almost always improvises the solo. Honestly just play any solo that makes sense in the key and you'll be fine. No reason to copy it note for note, add your own spin!
