For a sec, I thought there were going to be 2 people going crazy. :lol:
Then I remembered. I think it's:
Don't Fear the Reaper BOC.

boxboy, my old jam mate....thanks. it sure is Blue Oyster Cult.
thanks. I could not get the song fragment out of my head. it drives me crazy.
at first I thought it could have been Eddie Money's "Two Tickets to Paradise".
you tube set me straight. then I got the idea of trying to play what I thought on guitar, record it and post it.
sure nuf. Don't Fear the Reaper.
to be honest, I wan't listening to radio much when it came out. now I am looking to play that old stuff.

the intro is cool and easy. the chords are Am G F G. I form the open chords and pick the strings within the chord to get it.
guitarnoise and youtube = win win.
