Hi Guys,

My lesson 28 is for beginners/intermediate (maybe some advanced players are getting some inspirations as well) and focus on one of the best soloing concepts ever: question and answer!
The key here is to tell a small conversation between melodies to catch the listener with some interesting lines.
I'm also using the phrase imitation concept (see instruction video 1 for detailed info) here a lot to create an interesting solo.

So no shredding here but emotional melodies with heart. ;-)

A Part 0:00-0:47

||: D | % | Am7 | % |

| Em7| % | C | % :||

B Part 0:48-1:11

| Am7 | D | G | C |

| Am7 | D/F# | Asus2/C | % |
| E5 |

Concentrate on every small detail like beding, vibrato, slide, pull-offs etc. to get the feeling of my little solo here.

Have fun! ;-)

Final words

I tried to transcribe as close as possible. Specially in the Guitar Pro 5 you'll find all this little extras!

Cheers - Guido
