Lockdown Licks no. 378.
“Something For The Pain” by Bon Jovi.
In style of slide/bottleneck solo. Played on a Stratocaster in standard tuning, into a NUX M8 amp set to superlead with a little reverb.
A powerful guitar song, with its mix of great lyrics, acoustic, heavy power chords, a perfect signature riff and super slide play from Richie Sambora.
