Candy | TAB


Here’s the TAB for the main riff of Candy.

Candy TAB, riff.

The best way to learn how to play this is to simply play along with the original recording, ignore the solos for now.

When you feel comfortable, notice how these are arpeggios and if you want to get better at playing those, move this riff to all possible areas of the neck, as you play with the recording – this is a great exercise.

If you want more of a challenge, use the sax solo video (in the playlist) and work out how to play that, this should keep you busy for a few weeks…

Cameo tunes

Cameo wrote Candy.

Best known for their tunes Word Up and Candy, Cameo formed in 1974 and became one of the best funk bands around.

Candy has managed to remain relevant by having the dance routine The Electric Slide performed to it. Personally, I’m more into the sax solo by Michael Brecker.
