Tonal analysis

Since the rhythm guitar only picks single notes, we have to collect them shortly:

On the D string D E F G A C

These notes could be from C major or F major, depending on whether we add B flat or B flat.

On the G string G A B C D F

These notes could be from either F major or B flat major, depending on whether we add E or B flat.

With 6 out of 7 we can’t win a key jackpot yet: we have to choose a key.

For the first part, I take C major, so I still bring the B into play, for the second part from bar 9,
I take F major and play the E.

But since D and G are each the tonal center, we can also say that we don’t play C major but D Dorian,
or not F major but G Dorian. But that would almost be showing off.

Bars 1 to 4

With a little tapping action, we enter the first part of the solo.

Accent Shifting is the magic word here because we play groups of three to even six- tenths.
This shifts the emphasis further and further back until, after five repetitions, we end up on a difficult count again.
