Ok Here it goes the music for Love Song. Sorry about the previous incorrect
posting I don't know what I was thinking. Here is the corrections in full.
The solo is only similar but close enough top sound exact. I will divide the
song into 6 sections 1)Acoustic Intro 2)Electric Intro 3)1st & 2nd Verse
4)Chorus 5)solo 6)Outro. Here I go again!!
Love Song by Tesla

Just a little note here. I am not sure of what the second guitar part on
the intro but I am pretty sure of the first guitar at some points I am
not sure exactly what order he picks the notes but the chords should be
correct. When the intro (classical type) intro is over and the other
guitar comes in, it is played on a twelve string.

Tesla is great! I don't know why many people have not commented on them or maybe never heard of them! Hell, I have t ALOT of their CDs, from psychotic supper to Into The Now! Anyway, I feel this song is about a friend who gets their heart broken and feels that they'll never love again. Then, prolly their good friend, tells them that love will come knocking on their door. Like the old saying, there are other fish in the sea....unless your living in a pond! Anyway Tesla still rocks!!

As a huge Tesla fan, born to an even bigger Tesla fan, thus the reason my wonderful mother named me Tesla, lol, I find it very disturbing that I can tell millions of people my name and very few ever comment with 'Like the band?'. Tesla is very underrated. I feel bad because I mean... Iggy Pop is popular for Godsakes and he's a flamining idiot.

I personally see it as a break-up song... "Is this love made just for two?".. Love is everywhere if you open your eyes It's hard to let someone down

Best power ballad ever as far as I'm concerned. Tesla is indeed underrated.

Do Tesla fan's have computer's? I think their whole fan club is gone. It's a damn shame. I even liked them when they were Sofa King. But then again the only time I heard them was live and I was drunk and high on coke. It was a long time ago.
