Jim Messina's chihuahua Guitar Solo

WaimeaBay Joined: Jul 05, 2006 Posts: 969	Posted on Oct 22 2015 06:26 PM Hey everyone, I have been trying to work out the solo to chihuahua, but can't seem to note-4-note it. The song is E, but I believe the solo is over an E & D major chords. I think I hear a few accidentals ? I was wondering if anyone ever worked this out, if so, what scale and position is being used. Thanks so much. Last edited: Oct 22, 2015 18:28:10 Top

JObeast, I will have to touch up on my theory to make out what you said. Thanks, and happy belated birthday bro! Top
