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!
