'A Town Called Malice' by The Jam sounds easy. Then you try and play it. There’s something frustratingly tricky about it. We all tend to play it one specific way, but how does Bruce Foxton play it on the original recording? And should we even care?
Well, I’ve spent a couple of hours going over and over this riff, watching live versions by The Jam, watching the original video, extracting the audio, listening at a bunch of different speeds and today I'm going to share what I discovered!!
