Wild Thing by Troggs
Wild Thing
Tuning: Standard
A good song for beginning players. It can be further simplified by playing
power chords (remove the top 1 or 2 notes from the chords). The solo is also
a good choice for someone just starting to play lead guitar.
Intro
(For reverse bend-bend note up before picking and let it down slowly)
