Artist: Rick James
Album: Come Get It (Gordy/Motown Records 1978)
Song: Mary Jane
Tabbed by witmachine@yahoo.com
Intro has two guitars playing just about the same thing one has some
crunchy distortion and the other guitar is clean.
I tabbed out the Synth, as well. There's a lot of keyboards on this...
The Verse is a two chord vamp and the solo is played over the same riff as the verse.
