Cliff Gallup Cruisin guitar solo 2

Here is the second guitar solo from Gene Vincent's Cruisin' with Cliff Gallup on guitar.   The most interesting part of the solo is the dissonant open string double stops in bars 5-6.  It seems like Cliff Gallups bag of tricks was pretty endless.

Vince Taylor's Brand New Cadillac

Sorry about not posting the other two Cruisin' solos.  I will get those up at some point but haven't had time to tab them out.  In the interim I thought I would post a tab of Vince Taylor's Brand New Cadillac.  This is a rare rockabilly track in a minor key.  As most of you probably know the Clash did a terrific version of this on the London Calling album and this has also been covered by the Brian Setzer Orchestra.  Thanks to Mark Barling who has written a great rockabilly tab book for some input and help into the solo.   Check out his book it has some great Johnny Burnett and Cliff Gallup tabs.
