One of my favorite tunes from the late 80's. After John Sykes wrote most of the material for the Hugely successful 1987 Whitesnake album he and the rest of the band were fired. John started his own band called Blue Murder and he did all of the lead vocals and the phenomenal guitar work. This album has some of the finest guitar work out there. I did this one on my 12 string and I switch to my electric for the guitar solo at the end! Enjoy!!
what tuning are you in?

@MrScary777 YOU are so kickass!!
Thanx for telling me the name of the song and group. I've been looking for years on many websites, NOONE knew the song I was referring to because I thought the song was called "Whiskey and Water" I never would have known it was "RIOT" I was looking for. Thanks again!!

Yes, in the song "Riot" it goes something like "Whisky to water, water to wine, run for life, run for your life"

Beginning of the end of Whitesnake when Coverdale fired those guys! Sykes did a lot more singing than David will ever admit too, great songwriter and guitarist!

Dude, you did a pretty good job considering you're not tuned the way Sykes is tuned. Your guitar should be tuned as: D flat, A flat, D flat, F, A flat, D flat. Watch how Sykes plays the song acoustically in some of the videos online. You did a good job, just missed it a bit. Keep Rockin!
