One of Ace's staple songs from his Solo record. A fairly simple rhythm
guitar part, but watch out for the timing on Rhythm Fig. 4 before the solo
as it fluctuates with Anton Fig's drumming pattern. The Solo is comprised
of a call and answer pattern. The stock Chuck Berry type lick starts off
almost all the passages and is answered by a different lick each time. It
creates a familiarity with the song for the listener since he/she knows that
that call (the Chuck Berry type riff) will be coming back. This anticipation
is what make the solo catchy and hummable. I did NOT do the outro solo since
it is JUST jamming and should be played as such with a pattern like so:
10th |x|x|x|x|x|
11th |-|x|-|-|-|
12th |-|x|x|x|x|
13th |x|-|-|x|x|
This is a combined penatonic/blues position that Ace uses ALOT... Jam out
with teh ending it will help your phrasing and timing.... Enjoy!

RIP IT OUT
[Rhythm Fig. 1](2x)
[Rhythm Fig. 1](4x)
Now I know, you've been cheatin' and lyin' all the time
I didn't know you were gonna be so unkind
I've been trying just to find out how we went wrong
But I know that I can't trust you girl anymore
[Rhythm Fig. 2]
[Rhythm Fig. 3]
Chorus:
Rip it out, take my heart, you wanted it from the start
You got it now, so goodbye, so rip it out, watch me cry
[Rhythm Fig. 1](4x)
It's so sad, I'm not glad to be with you today
And it's bad, 'cos I can't stop the pain day by day
If I knew how to stop you, I don't think I'd try
I think it's better if we just part and don't say goodbye
[Rhythm Fig. 3]
chorus
I hope you suffer!
[Rhythm Fig. 4] (4x)
[Solo] w/ [Rhythm Fig. 1](4x)
[Rhythm Fig. 2]
chorus repeats 2x
Rip it out (repeats out)
