Artist: Television Song: "Little Johnny Jewel" Album: Little Johnny Jewel 7" (1975) Little Johnny Jewel 12" (1979) Marquee Moon - Deluxe Edition (2003) Standard Tuning *This song is a lengthy jam without distinct separation from the guitar parts between Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd, so what I've figured out will be under Guitars I and II. MAIN RIFF: (Played only by the bass during intro up to the first chorus break, then second guitar plays it throughout.) e|------------------------------------------------|

previous. Then when Guitar II goes back into the MAIN RIFF, Guitar I improvises with several quick slides high up the neck that get progressively faster and evolve into random tapping of high notes and scraped muted notes, leading into the SOLO.

Please feel free to leave comments, corrections, requests, and suggestions. Cheers! -Bennyshambles78-
