The iconic harmony lead lines kick in after the first chorus. Take a close listen and you’ll hear Robertson and Gorham sync’ing tightly on both vibrato and the precise length of each note – essential tricks of the twin-lead trade. Much of the line boils down to a six-note phrase: a single note that leads into a triplet, followed by a wide vibrato line and a staccato finishing note. Get this phrase down and you’ll have the whole riff together in no time.
