Written originally by Russ Ballard, 'I Surrender' was originally released in 1980 by Head East, but later recorded and released by Rainbow in 1981, with Joe Lynn Turner on vocals.
Roger Glover occupied the bass chair in Rainbow during this era, and was reported to use Gibson Thunderbirds during this era, so I figured that the Lollar Thunderbird pickup equipped Steinberger XT25 was the best fit for this job.
The song was entirely learned by ear (as mentioned before in other video descriptions, I'm not formally trained and am unable to read or write musical notation or tabulature), and is defnitely not a note-for-note transcription. This is more of my own rendition of Roger Glover's killer work on this tune.
