A #1 song in a minor key—mark your calendar!
This song forces upon us the question: is a sitar a guitar? For our purposes, we will say YES. Brian Jones’ sitar provides the oh-so-cool minor riff, and Keith provides the acoustic strumming and electric rhythm/fill work.
The above is an excerpt from Volume 3 of “Number One with an AXE!”, a song-by-song look at the guitar’s role in all of America’s #1 Billboard hits.
“Number One with an AXE! Vol 3” sells for $2.99. Release date: 6/15/17, available at: smashwords, amazon, kobo, iBooks, barnes & noble.
