Words and Music by Steven Tyler and Tom Hamilton
Fig. 7 - Intro, Chorus, and Verse
"Janie's Got a Gun" is a showcase for Aerosmith's more produced, textural style
of the late eighties and has become an all-time favorite in the repertorie. The song sounds
in F. Either tune your guitar up a half step or play all the notes one fret higher.
The atmospheric intro (0:11), and much of the song, hangs on Joe Perry's sparse
but effective power chord figure. This clean-tone part is played with the fingers and
is processed with a chorus effect. It uses simple E and B power chords fretted at the
seventh position. Note the pedal-point effect in measure 12 where the E and B chords
are played over a B bass note. In measures 16 and 17, the B-B-B7 progression presents
yet another variation of the venerable Chuck Berry comping riff--which has found its way
into countless rock tunes since the fifties.
The verse (0:46) employs Rhy. Fig. 1, and understated E-B power chord pattern
which grows out of the intro changes. The pre-chorus (1:03) features a low-register
chord figure which is consistently palm-muted on the sixth and fifth strings. This
progression uses E and Ab over an E pedal, and completes the cycle with A and B
chords --- elaborating nicely on the I-IV-V harmonic resources of straightahead rock.
The chorus (1:11) is, by contrast, more textural. It incorporates slurred fourth
dyads over Db and A chords, as well as a heavy, space-conscious riff of dyads
(E-D-G-D-E ) over a low E pedal. The chorus concludes with two measures of B
pounded out in quarter-note rhythm.

The bridge (2:17) features a well-conceived piece of Aerosmith guitar orchestration.
Gtr, 1 plays a simple, single-note melody in 8 notes.
Joe Perry's solo (2:44) is a classic Aerosmith guitar moment. Played on a Chet
Atkins electric-acoustic, it occurs over the progression of E-D-G-A. The melodies
are based on the
E minor pentatonic scale (E-G-A-B-
D ) with occasional additions of the
6th and 9th (
Db and
Gb ) in measures 17, 18, 20, 22 and 23. There are plenty of trademark
open-string pull-off licks throughout (see measures 15,17-19, and 25). These have been
a mainstay of Perry's solo style since the beginning. Interesting rhythmic twists abound;
check out the triplet figure in measure 14-19 and 24-25. The solo closes decisively in measures
26-29 with a series of blues-inspired, open-position guitar licks--featuring slides
and unison intervals, and making good use of the open first and second strings.
