2. A Song Played Wrong By A Thousand Cover Bands

For decades, I've seen guitarists play that main riff with chords.
But, Billy never hits more than 2 strings at a time and the two notes leading into the repeat are single notes.
They made it harder than it needs to be, and it sounds wrong & less fluid with chords.
BTW: those amps Billy is playing through are EXPENSIVE!
On that stack to his left, there are 2 heads & 4 2x12 cabinets. We're looking at $13-14,000 if stock.
But, they sound great!
