5 Guitar Amps for Beginners That Are Actually Great
Afinação: E A D GCapotraste: Sem capotraste
1961 single release for American R&R singer Gary U.S. Bonds’ (born Gary
Anderson). Bass performance Ron Farley. Tab by bass50611. In spite of
the very poor quality recording (fuzzy and distorted sound) the record
became a #1 on Billboard Hot 100 and #7 here in the UK. This is my
version and not as the recorded bassline.
