[Interlude+Bridge]
[Gtr. I & II]
you can aim for a clap on 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
^ ^ ^
just make any rhythm really with xxxxxx clicks, no chord here
[Outro]
[Gtr. I]
Play power chord riff until end.
[Gtr. II]
Pick chords like in the chorus until emd.
[Gtr. III]
I play this part when playing solo so it's easier to vocalize
You can use the saxophone strumming pattern like Gtr. I or any pattern you like.
