@CoolEditz I made a cover of the song on my page, trying to figure it out. Not really sure if i played E or B since i don't know any scales, and had just picked up the bass the day before i recorded that video.

@jpdgmpdmpdmpdm The progression is A Ab D F# C# F# B E - A Ab D F E F B E. The E may actually sound like it should be a D, but that's because the guitars are playing a suspended 4th over the 5th. He's really playing the wrong progression in this video. The rest of the improv is mostly diatonic walking.

Nope, it's a real Gibson Ripper from 1976 or thereabouts.

Sorry, I don't have any tabs for this, I just learned it by ear... there are lots of tabs for this song online though, and they're all pretty close I think.

Band practice last night and we decided we wanted to play "boys are back" and "rosalie" so guess what I will be doing tonight ??

Cool... Rosalie is a fun tune too. If you decide to use this video to learn the song, bear in mind it's not exactly how Phil plays it, but I think it sounds good with the rest of the song.
