#
#INTO THE VALLEY by THE SKIDS
#
#Words and music by Stuart Adamson and Richard Jobson.
#
#This song was released as single in 1979 and appeared on the �Scared to Dance� album
#in the same year. The single got into the UK top ten, and has since been used on coffee
#adverts and football shows.
#
#I�ve just started playing this classic Skids song again and this is the way that I now
#do it. The trickiest bits to this song are maintaining the rhythm playing, whilst
#defining the accents by driving down the picked rhythm and palm muting. To get an
#idea of what�s going on it�s best to listen to the CD.
#
#I first played this song with the guitar de-tuned to Eb now I just drop tune the 6th
#string to D giving the tuning pattern of D A D G B E. The song gallops along at about
#147 BPM and is for the most part in 4/4 timing. The one exception is at the end of the
#intro riff where the timing changes to 6/4 for D6, D5 pattern.
#
#To get the right sort of distorted guitar sound, its best to use a guitar with the
#bridge humbucker selected and run it through your amp/pod with the drive set to about
#6.5, the treble at about 8, the mids at about 8 and the bass at about 5 with no reverb.
#You should be looking to get a crunchy tone as you�ll need a thick sound for the PM
#sections.
#
#In the solo section I�ve annotated the bends between notes with the letter b, it
#follows that a bend up is followed by a bend down.
