Getting Ready to Get Down by Josh Ritter
Key: F
BPM: 107
This is the solo after the line "Jesus hates your high school dances." I think it goes over the same
chord progression as the main verse (F|Bb|Dm|C) played twice, for a total of eight bars. For timing, you'll
have to listen to the song.

For the rest of the song, before and after the solo, I basically use the chord progression already posted on
here which has it in the key of F, as that sounded closest to me.
