#CLIFFS OF DOVER COVER IBANEZ DRIVER#
The first part of the solo Johnson recorded with ES-335 was no good, so he cut it out and recorded the Stratocaster with a 1980s Tube Driver in its place.

When the band comes, the guitar is a stop-tail Gibson ES-335 (either a 1963 or 1964) until the solo.

Johnson has stated that the guitar he used in the intro before the band kicks in is a 1954 Strat (possibly "Virginia"). We just have to listen for it and be available to receive it." Equipment used kind of a gift from a higher place that all of us are eligible for. While he did indeed compose "Cliffs of Dover", Johnson does not take full credit, saying "I don't even know if I can take credit for writing 'Cliffs of Dover'. The outro or coda then recalls the freestyle mood and timing of the ad-libbed intro. Drums are then added as the song settles into a 4Ĥ rhythmic shuffle verse accompanied by a very accessible set of melodies that, throughout the song intro, feature variations (octavations for example) on the main chorus. In the solo intro, Johnson does not adhere to any distinct time signature. "Cliffs of Dover" begins with an ad-libbed electric guitar solo, using techniques such as string skipping and hybrid picking.
