Im in a "School of Rock" class there, and we play Pink Panther at shows and to warm up all the time. Its a good one.

As for DB vs. tic-tac vs. slab electric fingerstyle, who cares? It's not like a Ron Carter or Percy Heath tune. |

|  | Registered User | | | | | I've done that tune live in a bar.
It's a full on win everytime.
Note:
I'm not talking about some snooty fern bar either. That song works for a bunch of rednecks and bikers just as well.
We ended up doing it because the line was a noodle lick of mine and the crowd kinda forced the tune from there.
