Another Taste number -- Born on the Wrong Side of Time Gallagher rarely flaunted his Irish heritage in his electric music. One exception can be found on the previously referenced Taste single’s B-side, “Born on the Wrong Side of Time,” which has a pronounced progressive-rock vibe and features layered acoustic and electric guitars, key and tempo changes, an intro that could easily pass for a lost Rush tune, and perhaps the song’s most endearing riff: the piper-flavored clarion call shown in Ex. 2a. Repeat as written, then segue directly to the adventurous harmonies and contrasting low-register single-note triplets that comprise the quirky, repetitive six-bar rhythm figure in Ex. 2b. Note how that Fmaj7(6) functions as Dm(add9) with F, the b3, in the bass. -- from the Guitar Player magazine article 10 Things You Gotta Do to Play like Rory Gallagher guitarplayer/artists/1026/10-things-you-gotta-do-to-play-like-rory-gallagher/15171
