Tuning: E A D G B E
Album: Blackstar [2016] This is my interpretation for a standalone guitar, mixing guitar, sax and bass elements. - Verses: I play a mini-riff a the end of each line. See below. - Outro: you can improvise a solo in C major scale [or hypodorian A mode ?], inspired by the intro riff. - Advice for novices: you’re not obliged to play riffs. And in the bridge you can leave out the bass notes of Eb D/F# D/C chords.
