solo
(with slide)
*this is an improv solo with a slide, have fun and experiment with it.
another note: the left and right channels on the cd have two different
solo parts, you might want to listen to each channel seperatly to get
a different feel for the picking and positioning of the slide*

second solo
(with wah)
*adlib slightly with the wah, there's some holds and flutters in there. The
written rythmn is not exact. This another one of Adam's 'feel' solos.*

My warning meant nothing,
You're dancing in quicksand,
Why don't you watch where you're wandering?
Why don't you watch where you're stumbling?
You're wading knee deep and going in
This bog is thick and easy to get lost in,
Cause you're a stupid, belligerent fucker,
This bog is thick and easy to get lost in,
Cause you're a dumb and belligerent fucker,
I hope it sucks you down,
Down... down... down...
My warning meant nothing,
You're dancing in quicksand,
Why don't you watch where you're wandering?
Why don't you watch where you're stumbling?
You're wading knee deep and going in,
And you may never come back again

Cause you're a stupid, belligerent fucker,

This bog is thick and easy to get lost in,
Cause you're a dumb and belligerent fucker,
I hope it sucks, I hope it sucks, I hope it sucks you fucker,
I hope it sucks, I hope it sucks, I hope it sucks you down
Wandering, wandering, no one even invited you in,
You're still stumbling, suffocate, suffocate,
Why don't you get away?
Wandering around, who let you in?
No one even invited you in,
You're still stumbling, suffocate, suffocate,
Why don't you get out while you can?
No one told you to come!
My warning meant nothing,
