I GOT A LINE ON YOU
Spirit
This is how we played it --it's pretty close to Spirit's original.
See it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBhPWDpCyMc
intro and main riff
The D's and E's are kinda sloppy middle strings on the 7th and 9th frets. I usually
the second strike on the B's letting the first hit ring out.

sometimes sliding from the Eb.
