Now....

If we can only figure out how to play the opening riff to "When Doves Cry" we'll be straight!

The guitarist for ZZ Top (sorry, forget his name) is quoted as saying that he wishes he could learn how to play that opening riff and has tried. He was giving props to our boy.

You guys don't need all those suspended 9ths and such.

Just start by barring the 6th string for b flat, then ascend up to G Minor 7th barre chord, and then F Major, and then go back to the 6th fret and play e flat by barring the 5th string.

It's quite easy and it sounds the same as the album track.

Er...Nope, doesn't quite work. Don't quite sound the same.
