Joy Division - Reaction

This is an old Warsaw song. No studio version of this song exists. I am referring to a rehearsal recording from
August or September 1977. The pitch of said rehearsal varies between sources. My source is higher pitched and
lasts for about 2:46. I believe the live version from Rock Garden, Middlesbrough (September 14, 1977) is two
notes lower in pitch, so keep that in mind when you play the song.

The strumming can vary. Bernard sometimes dampened the strings a bit with his palm. The guitar part isn't super
consistent. Sometimes he plays the whole chord and then others he strikes one string. He also makes a few
mistakes, resulting in a bum note struck or the wrong note in a riff. Just mix it up a bit when you play it and
you should be fine. Listen to the song for the strumming timing.
