Song: Dance to the Bop Artist: Gene Vincent Tuning: Standard Alright kids. Long time, no tab once again. We're going back to where it all started, baby. And one of those places is Gene Vincent. Simply put, no Gene Vincent, no Brian Setzer. Can't say enough good things about Gene. His songs are energetic, fun to play, and you should just end your life right now if his stuff doesn't at least, make you want to shake your leg. Standard rock n roll composition here. Your typical A,D,E progression. But the rhythm of this piece makes it very fun to play. Strums are not exact. Listen carefully for the changes. Lets go!!
