"You Really Got Me" -- The Kinks


Here is a complete version of the Kinks' 60's classic, which includes 
a half real/half original solo.

Rhythm 1
e-------------------||
B-------------------||
G-------------------||
D-------------------||
A-3-55-3-5-(x)-(x)--||
E-1-33-1-3-(x)-(x)--||

The mutings are not on the record, but they help you kee the timing right.
Do this a few times and then move everything up (35xxxx and 57xxxx) two
frets.  Then repeat Rhythm 1. Then move everrything up two frets again and
then move it up a string (x35xxx and x57xxx). For the end of the chorus, 
play and hold a C5 (x35xxx). Do everything again. Then, after the held C5,
play the solo (below) and play everything again. It's obviously not 100%
the disc's solo, but it has stuff from it and stuff that helps fill the
sonic gaps in my mind. 12^14 means bend the 12 up to 14, but 12^12^12^12^
doesn't mean bend the 12 up to 12; it means bend it repeatedly.
