The BAMS are the same every time (well, they tried to make them the same every time...sometimes you could hear them screw it up). But here is your formula, of which I am 100& positive, is accurate:
Think of the number 8. That's your count...
"I had a hard run - runnin' from your window", including the G>C>G >C>G >C>G directly afterwards, would be a total of 32 beats, OR 4 measures of 8. Got it?
Okay...when soloing, your order is this:
solo over verse > solo over chorus > solo over verse > sing chorus.
Now let's pick apart your FIRST VERSE OF SOLO:
You play the FIRST 2 LINES (2 sets of 4 measures of 8 ) completely normally.
The THIRD LINE, you accent the 2nd BEAT of the FIRST AND SECOND MEASURE OF 8, playing the 3rd & 4th measures of 8 normally.
The FOURTH LINE, you accent the 3rd BEAT of the FIRST AND SECOND MEASURE OF 8, playing the 3rd & 4th measures of 8 normally, leading into the
SOLO OVER THE CHORUS...
SECOND SOLO OF VERSE:
You play the FIRST 2 LINES (2 sets of 4 measures of 8 ) completely normally.
The THIRD LINE, you accent the 4th BEAT of the FIRST AND SECOND MEASURE OF 8, playing the 3rd & 4th measures of 8 normally.
The FOURTH LINE, you accent the 5th BEAT of the FIRST AND SECOND MEASURE OF 8, playing the 3rd & 4th measures of 8 normally.
You're ALMOST DONE, NOW!!
During the LAST VERSE OF SINGING, you play thusly:
Play the FIRST 2 LINES normally
The THIRD LINE, you accent the 2nd BEAT of the FIRST AND SECOND MEASURE OF 8, playing the 3rd & 4th measures of 8 normally.
The FOURTH LINE, you accent the 4th BEAT of the FIRST AND SECOND MEASURE OF 8, playing the 3rd & 4th measures of 8 normally.
THAT'S IT, FOLKS!!! Any questions? Feel free to PM me.
