Mr. Big – Daddy, Brother, Lover, Little Boy

When it comes to quintessential mainstream rock, it’s got to be Mr.

BIG.

I’m not sure about now, but they’ve even played as B’z’s backing band, so they’re a familiar rock band in Japan too.

They deliver a pure, no-surprises rock sound, and I personally love them for it.

Mr.

Big, the American rock band that enjoyed immense popularity especially in Japan, features members who each possess high-level performance skills and strong songwriting abilities.

Their single Green-Tinted Sixties Mind from the second album Lean Into It is notable for its poppy, catchy melodies and ensemble work.

The tapping phrases that appear in the intro and outro aren’t too difficult if you practice them slowly, but be careful as it’s easy to hit wrong notes.

As for the guitar solo, there aren’t any particularly fast runs as long as you watch out for the odd time signature in the latter half, making this a fun piece to play for intermediate guitarists.
