This is a simple exercise, mostly to help expand my theory and knowledge. Since there are some way better players on this forum, I come here seeking knowledge fairly often.

Keep your hands to yourself is a staple in our setlist.

I would like to hear the 5 or 10 second improvised description of how to play this song. Say you have a bassist that can improvise a little and you need to describe the structure including changes how would you do it.

Mostly its a I,IV,V progression but there are some changes in the solo sections and well.

What say you TB? Key of A I,IV,I,V to start

the key thing to realize if you're talking this tune down quick, like on stage is that it is a Blues! for that tune all you need to say is blues in A with a straight rock feel.

Sorry i don't remember the solo changes ...my band plays it as a blues throughout without deviating from that form .....we learned it on the fly as well cause the drummer knew the lyrics!

I chord 4 bars
IV chord 2 bars
I chord 2 bars
V chord 2 bars
I chord 2 bars
