in the song 'knocking on heavens door' does anyone know the single notes that are played during the solo, or intro- i obviously know it doesnt have to be the 'exact' notes due to copyright laws, but if anyone could get me close, that would be awesome- i was messing around with g, d, am, and c last night and have the chords down, but i would like to throw in a little pizzaz-

thanks

I don't know the intro or lead breaks or anything but here's a little snippet of a strumming pattern I use for this piece - don't know if you'd call it spice, maybe just a dash of salt
This shouldn't present any copyright issues since it's just chords - no melody - and it's just a snippet - but if there is a problem, go ahead and delete it.
So the chords go - G, D, Am then G, D, C. I play the C with the G in the bass - 3rd fret 6th string. Then on the way to the G, I do a little bass run of 3rd fret 6th string, 2nd fret 6th string, open 6th string and then the G. Also when I play the Am I add the G on the 1st string (3rd fret 1st string) seems to give it some extra oomph.
Hope this helps a bit.

I have impovised in a G major scale starting on the A string at the 10th fret. try messing around starting with the G ...you may find you can sound "Slash" like way up the neck with this song
