They edited what he did play and the second bar is just the first bar backwards. He said he tried to play the break but couldn't do it. He approximates it on stage. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djc63 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Yes I know, that’s why I found it so blinking difficult! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try explaining that to the guitard who insists you play it exactly as per the record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I struggled with that years ago, until I looked up some live versions of it...wow, there's some car crashes out there, including a couple with Paul Simon himself...I felt a lot better about it after that 😁 Story goes it was Bakithi's birthday when they were recording it, so they all packed up early and went out, and the engineer took the first half and just reversed it for the second half...

AntLockyer Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Good times bad times. The little solo bit are always rubbish when I play them and I find the verse bit almost impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The verse riff is easy enough. Trim back the chorus part but keep the essence of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 I always tend to struggle with getting into the pocket of Let's Dance. It's a simple line but played so far behind the beat, and when you're on stage the last thing you are able to do is relax and slide into it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
