THE SKIDS - INTO THE VALLEY
ALBUM - SCARED TO DANCE
From: maule_andy@hotmail.com
This punk anthem from 1978 saw the marriage of Stuart Adamson's
unflinching guitar barrage with Richard Jobson's indecipherable
vocal exertions.....a classic! The intro/main riff is played to
a large extent with the strings palm muted - you'll have to
listen to the recording to get the hang of it. Anyway,crank it
up and enjoy. The song is in E.
h - hammer on
p - pull off
b - bend up
r - release
/ - slide up
\ - slide down
~ - vibrato
