Chords for Neal Schon "Lights" Fender Stratocaster Pearl White

Hey, so we are back here bananas, [Am] and we're in [Ab] the the cool room here
We're hanging out with my buddy Neil and we're looking at some really special instruments, and this one is
the [N] coolest thing ever
This guitar is legendary.
This is a guitar.
That's been on some of the biggest hits [Db] ever
We don't let Neil talk about it [D] one second, but I really want you to soak this in this is the lights strap
[Bb] This is the infinity strap
Okay, [Ab] this this is the light strap the infinity strap it's on departure _ _ _
Escape all those records, so that's this is captured [G] guitar.
[Bbm] This is all of it.
This is all the early [Db] 80s
_ [C] _ Recordings this is on escape [Bb] frontiers
_ everything and this is
_ lights _ _
Faithfully center my [Bb] love and then it was a bunch of other songs _
Exactly [Ab] without listening to the recording, but these were all played on you know
This was all played on those songs and the paint looks really [Eb] cool now
I remember everybody thought [N] I was kind of crazy when I when I you know at this
_ 63 up [Gb] and stuck a Floyd on it.
You [Bb] know this was like in the days when Eddie just got a Floyd
Eddie Van Halen and
_ [C] You know I got it
I got a hold of Floyd himself, and he sent me out when [Bb] I'm and this is not it
But it had you know one of the early Floyd's was and I think number two or number three on here
They had no Turner tuners on it
and then later I switched it over as he came with a better model that you get tuned [Ab] and
_ _ _ You know 63 [C] neck
_ [Gb] _ So [Bb] before they figured out that you don't want to do that to next but this has lasted
You know for years, and so I don't think it's going anywhere unless somebody just like throws it against the [Gb] wall.
Yeah, but but
[Ab] Great sounding guitar and the paint on this thing I painted it twice
I mean if you remember you look at old videos there was some like some gold color that [Cm] I painted it
[Bb] It was like gold you know metallic gold, and then I went with [Ab] this pearl white
But as you can see the [Bb] paint job now is [Bm] completely cracked.
This is not a relic job
[G] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ _ This is a wicked [Bm] guitar and sounds [A] great
_ I read it this switch [B] to because when you used to play live
I always hit this switch accident, and it would knock it out of the bass mode so the bass
Position is actually in the [A] middle
[D] _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Nice PAF in [Bm] this the old [B] PAF you know some [Bb] from some 50s Les Paul and _
_ _ [Bb] Man this thing just [B] barks.
This is on all our live stuff
All _ that you know anything that you saw old [Bb] video with with this white guitar
That's it nice, and so this is how this guitar has
_ Tremendous amount of history with with journey, and I not wanted to give it up for a long time
And now it's been twisting my arm
_ And so I if you want you better get it fast before [A] I take it back off.
Yeah, I mean the truth is
_ _ [D] Maybe five years ago
[B] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _
_ _ Let me finish _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Where you should wait I mean we have an opportunity
[B] _ Interesting thing too that I fell into by accident, but in this middle position here
Yeah, between the travel pickup and middle [Dbm] pickup _ _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ Use an old [Bm] Plexi Marshall _ yeah
_ _ [Bb] 100 watt Plexi there you go in a room with long Mikey
_ and an echo plex _ _
_ _ _ Yeah, it's [Bm] very cool, and a little boss
_ [Bb] _
Compressor so stay you know so that's the rig right there.
That's it this guitar those pieces, and you could be _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ This is it.

It could take you to the site where you can find these and buy these and any questions or anything you know where to find
Us [B] yeah, you know something really cool and all these guitars that I mentioned to say [Bb] you played _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
They they are not floaty and so I found that they sound better and so there they only go down right you know
It's no wobbling like this and so if you're playing with keyboards
_ And you're worried about that going attitude does it's like having a stock [B] deal right _ _ [E] _ cool [G] you go
