  I added pop to lesson's title because of backing track - sounds a bit popy. at least for me .
  
  Might be, but for some reason in my head guitar soloing and POP are not friends these days, at least here, maybe I need to move to your town man.

Hi GMC! Kuba here. Welcome to my pop-rock solo lesson! What I tried to achieve here is a simple but also effective solo over simple chord progression: E5, G5, A5, G5. This lesson utilizes mainly E dorian mode and E minor pentatonic. In this solo I mixed some melodic stuff with fast alternate picking.

-------------
Tempo:120 bpm
Notes duration: 4th, 8th, 16th, 8th triplets, 16th triplets
Techniques: Alternate picking, bending, pull-offs, some power chords rhythm
As always Guitar Pro tab and backing track at various tempos are provided.

If you want to ask me anything, post a comment or send me a private message.

Take care,
Kuba
