Hell on six strings

Yeah, the Devil rode down to Georgia,

on a Harley made of flame,

He said, “I’m lookin’ for a soul with sound —

let’s see who remembers my name.”

The sky cracked open thunder-wide,

and every amp caught fire,

‘Cause when the Devil calls you to play,

you either bleed… or you expire.

(guitars tear into a drop D riff — heavy palm-muted gallop)

⸻

Johnny was a kid with a black Strat neck

Burned hands, but a clean regret

Played his soul through broken strings

Dreams loud enough to shake the kings

The Devil laughed, all venom and smoke

“Boy, you think your tone’s that woke?

I’ve walked through hell with Les Pauls crying —

You better play like your God’s still dying.”

⸻

The Devil rode down to Georgia

With a six-string made of flame

He said, “Play me something holy, boy,

or I’ll burn your name.”

The strings were steel, the frets ran red

The amps screamed out his pride

Johnny struck that lightning chord —

and hell itself replied.

⸻

He played bends that cracked the sky

Each note bled like a battle cry

Tremolos like storm winds rise

Whammy dive like angels’ cries

The Devil grinned, then tore his tune

A shredder’s curse, a graveyard croon

His solo split the night in two

A firestorm the crowd ran through

⸻

(alternating solos between “Johnny” and “The Devil” — describe with tone)

• Devil’s solo: fast, chaotic, diminished scales, high gain, squeals like banshees.

• Johnny’s solo: soulful, blues-rooted, every bend a scream of defiance.

• Both crash together in unison for one final harmonic divebomb into silence.*

⸻

The Devil rode down to Georgia

But he left that place in shame

Johnny’s song lit up the dark

And carved his name in flame

The kid just grinned and said, “Old man,

You don’t own my sound or sin.”

Then walked away through fire and smoke —

With a scar, and a wicked grin.

⸻

Now they say when the amps hum low

And thunder shakes the floor

You can still hear Johnny’s ghost

Tearin’ up that Devil’s score.

(last note bends into screaming feedback, fades into reverb and silence)
