Come On Lets Go


Song: Come on Lets Go Album: Ritchie Valens Tuning: Standard Easily, one of my top 5 favorite songs of all time. Such a nice, warm, upbeat song that takes me back to the 1950's even though I was born waaay after that time. Ritchie will always hold a special place because he grew up about 5 minutes away from me and he paved the way for latinos in the rock n roll scene. This song just makes you want to take your girl out on your 1957 chevy bel-air over to the malt shop or the drive in theater while sporting your leather jacket. Anyway, easy easy song here. Basic I,IV,V progression with the A,D and E chords. 3rd song off of his first album. Strums are not exact. Switch to the neck pick up (the up position) to get the warm effect of the song. Listen for the changes. Let's go!!
