maybe blend in some of the easier stuff
is it sacrilege to say here that most of Don's stuff is really simple? I think he was a great player and (more important, maybe) performer. His parts fit the music perfectly. But I don't think he spent a lot of time working on modes and scales. He just played some great-sounding simple Telecaster guitar.

I have tried note-for-note tabbing some Don Rich guitar leads; what struck me was how most of it could be played in open position with one finger on the left hand. True genius!!
