Lockdown Lick 166

Lockdown Licks 166.

“Ace of Spades” by Motorhead. Signature riff played a number of times, double string bend riff and ending chord riff.

I played in ‘drop E flat’-just E string tuned to Eb. This allows open E string to be used.

Played on a Junior through a NUX M8 amp set to ‘metal’.

Ace of Spades” is a song by English heavy metal band Motörhead and the title track to the album Ace of Spades. It was released as a single in October 1980. The song opens with an overdriven bass intro played by Lemmy. For the lyrics, he said he “used gambling metaphors, mostly cards and dice.”

Video recorded me in landscape, I wasn’t playing sideways.⁉️
