Everyone loves Doobies!
This is a song by the Doobie Brothers. For some reason it's called "Long train Runnin'"

I'm pretty sure this guitar lick is one of the first things 75% of guitar players teach themselves. It's kind of easy to play and it's fun because you get to stream a lot. The rhythm is so catchy that an accidental he teaches people about 16th notes... You would think!

SIGH

Guitar players need to read the following:

If you play this song like this guy does on guitar and then also constantly noodle and fiddle and play out loud while people are setting up or conversing, you will be hated. I say again, practice at home. Be prepared. Listen to the song more than twice prior.
Rhythm is king. Figure it out before the concert.
Stay the fuck away from me. The bass is more important than you. Don't believe me and ask the other 15 -20 people in the band. Don't belive me ask people. Watch their expressoin become slightly desperate becasue of the question. They are going to tell you want they think you want to hear. Lol, good luck... oh wait one more.
Hate me and everything I say and then show up and sound/perform better than me. Do it. Show up and play correctly out of spite for me and everything I said here. Play appropriate volumes, end your solo when you're supposed to, count repeats better than me, and show up early next time. #YoureWelcomeButGoFuckYourselfAnyways

Guitar players don't have to be annoying. I'm not sorry you didn't start out in orchestra or large band situation's. I'm the same way, I figured it out. I figured out the etiquette. I asked the right questions and practice right timings.
"Let's go!"
