DLC Quickplay - Pick Me Up

		Vampire-Jekyll
	This was a nice surprise. Basing the guitar chart of Feel The Pain, being my only taste of Dinosaur Jr., I wasn't expecting too much for guitar but was thankfully disappointed. This is a great song and probably the most well rounded guitar part to be seen in the game. There's something for everyone here; Elite players will have a challenge FCing this song and your more average guitarist will find a song that's challenging, but far far far from impossible. The song begins with various chordfest patterns and might I note that, if one hasn't mastered the whole chord switching routine, this would be an excellent place to practice as it has some demanding chord changes but at infrequent locations but sometimes a bit faster than one might expect. It sounds dull but in execution it is superb. After all the singing and whatnot is finished are treat to a very bluesy and extensive guitar solo that very much reminds me of songs like 'Maggot Brain' by Funkadelic, albeit much more upbeat. The solo has you going up and down the fretboard constantly, painting a beautiful picture using sound. Although not nearly as hard as some songs in the same tier, 'Pick Me Up' is undoubtedly a test of a guitarist's mettle and I would have to say a definite purchase for plastic guitar players.
