Thanks, Ray. I've heard his so-called "hits" so many times that I really gravitate towards the lesser known tunes when I want to play some Bruce. A little more freedom not to try to sound authentic on Born to Run
. The Luckytown album is one I really like, I play most of those tunes.
I hope you give Johnny 99 a go. You can overdub a guitar solo where the harmonica break should be, I only kept scraping out the rhythm. I'm out of space on Soundcloud so no overdubbing for me for a while, I've not figured that out on YouTube.
BTW I think he plays this tune in B. Not my favorite key. I put a capo across the top 5 strings and played it in the D shape to get normal fingerings in the key of Drop E. Hope that makes sense!
