Lockdown Lick 121

Lockdown Lick

Lockdown Licks no. 121 “Paperback Writer” by The Beatles. The signature riff played on Junior picked close to the bridge with a 1mm Jim Dunlop pick to give that Beatlish twang! NUX amp on superlead with gain backed off to 3 to avoid too much overdrive saturation. Having said that the HM band Saxon has done an excellent roaring cover version recently!

“Paperback Writer” is a song by the English rock band the Beatles. Written primarily by Paul McCartney and credited to the Lennon–McCartney partnership, the song was released as the A-side of their eleventh single in May 1966. It topped singles charts in the United Kingdom, the United States, Ireland, West Germany, Australia, New Zealand and Norway.
