TROOPER
Topic: Riff-In-A-Jiff

The riff for today is actually a verse. It comes from Trooper's 1976 album Two For the Show. I was asked by e-mail if I could help in working out the opening riff to "The Boys In the Bright White Sports Car". (Is there a longer song title out there anywhere? Don't answer that, could be scary. Smile) So I tabbed out the whole 1st Verse, since pretty much the whole thing is based on that same riff (just moving it around). I'm sure at some time I'll turn this into a complete tab of the song to post on the site.

I saw Trooper play at a festival a couple of years ago. It was a good show. They definitely have enough hits to fill a whole show with. And this of course, along with "Raise A Little Hell", is one of their best known songs.
