Lyrics
Guitar man, tell me what your secret am
Guitar man, reveal your hidden talent or skill
Tell me please, can you put my mind at ease
Requesting information to ease the mind about something
When you're standing in the spotlight
When you are in the center of attention
With all the girls around
Surrounded by admirers, particularly females
I was wondering how you do it
Curiosity about the technique behind the captivating sound
How you make that sound, guitar man
Asking how the guitarist achieves the unique sound
Tell me what your secret am
Repetition of the request for the guitarist's secret
Tell me please, can you put my mind at ease
Seeking reassurance or comfort by knowing the secret
Your fingers move so swiftly
Admiration for the guitarist's nimble finger movements
Across those silver strings
Describing the smooth playing on the silver guitar strings
It looks so nice and easy
Expressing that the guitarist makes it look effortless
How you make it sing, guitar man
Asking about the skill behind making the guitar "sing"
Tell me what your secret am
Reiterating the request for the guitarist's secret
Tell me please, can you put my mind at ease
Emphasizing the desire to ease the mind through revelation
Guitar man, in a guitar jam
Addressing the guitarist within a musical context or performance
Playing low, playing slow
Describing different styles and tempos of guitar playing
Playing loud, working the crowd
Highlighting the interaction with the audience
Playing high, you seem to fly
Describing an elevated, almost transcendent guitar performance
Guitar man, tell me what your secret am
Repeating the plea for the guitarist's secret
Uh, hey man, have you seen my Stratocaster
A humorous aside about a missing guitar (Stratocaster)
Hand me that Gibson over there, will you
Requesting another guitar (Gibson) to try
Let my try your Martin, man
Expressing interest in trying the Martin guitar
Do you mind
Asking for permission to use the guitarist's instrument
Plug it in that Marshall
Requesting to plug in and increase the volume on a Marshall amplifier
Turn it up a little bit louder
Asking for a louder sound from the amplifier
