Cuban Slide - Single Version;...by Pretenders

"But the real reason “Cuban Slide” gets over is James Honeyman-Scott, who again totally and utterly kills. After the first chorus, he tosses off a quick noisy solo that sets up the second verse quite nicely. But that’s not the highlight. It’s the solo he takes after the second and third verses which kills. Instead of a regular solo, he plays a five-note motif over and over and over and over: duddle-do-duh-duh, duddle-do-duh-duh duddle-do-duh-duh duddle-do-duh-duh while Pete Farndon builds on his base and [Martin] Chambers switches up to a straight which finally resolves into a quick “real” guitar solo."
