Hungry Like the Wolf

Man in a Box

Danni

Review the key for Man in the Box.  I’m hoping we can bring it up a step, but that may be a silly suggestion for you, please give that a listen.

James

Zombie –

Whole song – | E | A3 | E3 | E2 |

Come together

bass lick

slide up on d and land on G10, then slide down from D12

Jeff

When strumming “Zombie” have consistent eighth notes downstrums.  The tone you found for that song, though, is EPIC

Jesse

The lead for Zombie always starts on the third measure of the progression.

Joe

For “Zombie” I’m hoping the measure before every prechorus is just super heavy 1 2 3 on the high hat and then the zombie fill into the chorus
