Artist: Bon Jovi
Song: Love For Sale
Written by: Jon Bon Jovi & Riche Sambora
Album: New Jersey
This is an awesome song to jam to. For the guitar solos, if you know
the minor pentatonic scales, you can use those to improv on this
song, since it’s got a bluesy sound. –It’s in the key of E.
It’s a great tune. I welcome all questions and comments:
