- Guitar TAB is available from my comment below! More City Pop videos are coming up! Please subscribe my channel, if you like my videos! Here is the guitar solo cover of Bomber by Tatsuro Yamashita (山下達郎). The song is famous for the funky slap bass line.
--- Tutorial/Lesson/Analysis of the solo ---
The guitarist used overdrive and chorus for the solo. You can get this old-fashioned modern sound. The setting of chorus would be Rate 0.333 Hz, Intensity 14%, and Mix 40%. You turn up chorus until you hear a bit of jet sound (with overdrive). That's the sweet spot you wanna aim for this solo.
As for phrasing, this solo is inspired by Eric Clapton. The repetitive lick from 0:16 is from him.
Here are a few examples of how Eric Clapton plays the lick.
Eric Clapton - Layla. The main riff of Layla is based on this lick; https://youtu.be/fX5USg8_1gA
Eric Clapton - Bad Love - Live 1990. You can hear he plays the same lick here and there. The entire solo is very well structured too. https://youtu.be/tUbpwNWmjfI?t=221
