riffs follow the lead vocal, mainly in the chorus. The song is very simple and the
main riff (Rhythm Fig. 1A & B) changes the licks each time, never repating the same
line. The solo is very creative, with pentatonic licks in Am, then in Em. After the
solo, Ace uses a bridge which leaves a different touch to the song (Rhythm Fig. 4),
very well done. The music ends with another solo, which reminds us of the other
licks used in the song.
