Basically, you've got this Johnny B.
Goode thing going on, Ted style, right in the [Am] beginning.
_ _ _ [A] _ My [Eb] amp's kind of fluctuating on me.
We might not make it through the video.
That [B] typical pentatonic scale, I believe [A] that is.
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
[B] And we're in the A position, and we just pull that out [F] like typical Ted.
[Ab] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [Gb] There's a little bit of improv in there, and again, I haven't been in front of the album in a long time.
I've been playing [F] this stuff for so long, I could probably [Eb] use a little brushing up, I'd say.
[F] _ _ _
_ _ [Gb] And then we [E] jump up here. _ _
[Dm] We've just [Bbm] got this pattern [B] where, _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ [N] well this is a typical Ted thing too.
You're pulling up on your little E string, [D] and you're going to kind of grip your B string [Eb] at the same time.
[Em] Hit them together, and pick upward.
[Ab] _ [N] Or alternate.
So, I'll put the E down with the B. _ _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [N] It's going to destroy the whole thing too. _ _ _
_ _ _ So, the lead, if I can break it out a little bit.
This, I think Ted calls his Chuck Berry type lead, and [A] it's this. _
Now [B] it's funny how you change the tone of your guitar, and you get a little bit of [N] attitude behind it, and Chuck Berry turns into Ted Nugent.
It's really, really interesting.
But this is almost a home position [E] for Ted. _ _
_ [Am] This is an [E] A position here, just on these two strings.
[F] And then when you get this going here, you [A] just have to have this one note. _
_ [Am] _ _ _ You've got to get the _ _ _ _ _ [Em] Ted Nugent style.
So, Cat Scratch Fever is nothing [A] but just _ _ _ [E] a pentatonic. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ [B] _ _ [Am] _ _ _
I'm getting carried away.
[A] So, _ _ _ _ _ _ it's kind of a slow note.
_ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ Then he jumps up here. _ _ _
_ _ [Dbm] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ [N] Now when the D to E, C to D thing is going on, he's [C] going_
_ [N] _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [Db] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [N] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [B] _ _ _
[C] _ And one thing [N] that really helps, I was criticized for this once, but it really helps, and it's kind of unavoidable once you really get going here.
You've got to kind of make the Ted faces.
The Ted faces help.
When you're doing a gut-wrenching, graceful lick like Cat Scratch Fever, [Ab] the Ted faces will help pull _ from the heart and the soul.
_ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
It's that chord that Ted seems to use a lot.
_ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
And _ [A] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ we eventually [A] get to [C] the_
He's _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ actually got a couple of guitars going there.
