Scott:
Not being enough of a guitar player to explain in a way you might like, I
can only say that MG is not structured like a Blues song...something that
can be easily converted to a Berry-like song, if you understand what I mean.
To make it Blues, you have to change it considerably (as Townshend did on
the `75 tour, making it almost like Chuck Berry's Memphis, Tennessee).
Did that get it across?
