Biography:
Una de las buena bandas norteamericanes de mediados a fines de los 60's y posiblemente una de las más olvidadas y subestimadas de esa época. Spirit no puede ser clasificada en un solo género ya que en su sonido hay elementos de jazz, psicodelia, hard rock y hasta rock progresivo, si nos ponemos más estrictos. El grupo estuvo originalmente compuesto por Randy California (guitarra, voz), Mark Andes (bajo), Jay Ferguson (voz, percusion), Ed Cassidy (batería) y John Locke (teclados y percusión).

I GOT A LINE ON YOU
Spirit
This is how we played it --it's pretty close to Spirit's original.

intro and main riff
The D's and E's are kinda sloppy middle strings on the 7th and 9th frets. I usually
the second strike on the B's letting the first hit ring out.

Cause you got the right line to make it through these times
G A B

Main Lead is played over an E chord (7th fret) --Just hold the E chord thru the whole
sometimes sliding from the Eb.
