Okay - here's 'Rain' (a 'really' easy song...) - and look at that ultra-complex
solo!  Wow!  Still, each to his own...

Here goes...

(this takes the form of four simple chords (D, Am, C, and G) with
only three notes of each played, one at a time, so it runs as follows...)

B:--2-----2--------------------
G:-0-----0-------0-------------

E:-------------------3---------

   (D)   (Am)  (C)    (G)

  (Here comes the rain...oh here comes...)

Chords (for Verses):

DDDDDDD-C----------DDDDDDDC-CCCCCCC-G-GGGGGGG-D (x2)
Hot sticky scenes, You know what I mean...
Like the desert sun that burns my skin...

D-D-D-D-F--F-F-F-C--C-C-C-G--G-G-G  (x2)
I've been waiting...so long, for her...
Open the sky, and let her come down...

				-@-

Crunched Chords (After 1st Chorus):

(Y'know how to do these - hand resting on strings over bridge, just
shutting them off...etc.)

DDDDDDDC--DDDDDDDC--DDDDDDDD-D-D-FF-G----

				-@-

Solo Intro:

e:-------------------------------------------
B:-3-1-0-----0-3---10-----3-1-0-----0-3--310-
G:-------2-01--------2----------2-01---------
D:----------------------0--------------------

				-@-

Funky Chord (!):

(Basically just a D (barred on the 10th fret) only just play top 3
strings, eg:)

e||---|---|-- - - - --|-o-|---|---
B||---|---|-- - - - --|-o-|---|---
G||---|---|-- - - - --|---|-o-|---
D||---|---|-- - - - --|---|---|---
A||---|---|-- - - - --|---|---|---
E||---|---|-- - - - --|---|---|--- - -
		       10th
		       fret

Play in a "funk" fashion (ie. strumming a constant rhythm (a fast one)
lifting fingers away from frets to 'kill' the strings and create rhythm
patterns) for 8 bars...

Solo:

e:-10---10----1-0------1-331-0----10---------1-0---10----1-331-0---10-------
B:----3----33-----33-3---------3-----33-313-3---33---33-3--------3----33-313
G:--------------------------------------------------------------------------

C'est finis.

As for Floorshow - keep at it!  It'll click eventually, it's all about
rhythm (and blagging it!)

All the best.
