Very nice.

I always thought that the lead lick was played by Mark on the same track/take as rhythm, as he did live
You don't play it, does it means that you think it was played separately on another guitar/track/take ?

If I'm being critical I would say it's not really a tutorial - how about another video with some tips on HOW to play it?

Maybe you're right Dusty. If I have time this evening, I'll record a video:-)

Great song to play - such hypnotic rhythm, and the bass fall down the A chord is too cool. Did Knop steal this ? Any other ditties with this particular V-IV-I fall ?

It's a sort of country/rock 'n roll rhythm. It's used in more songs, such as Yakety Axe from neck and neck
