Trond Vold6th May 2009One thing I love about your lessons is that it is usually a 2 in 1 type of lesson - that is, the solo and the rhythm sections are both challenging and interesting to learn separately. This lesson seems to be just that!
Thanks! I'm so glad to hear that

Hi guys and welcome to another Rock Solo lesson :)
In this lesson I've tried to take a very simple melody and turned it into a relatively easy and effective solo.
I've also tried to include most of the common techniques you will encounter in most rock/metal solos, which in this case would be hammerons, pulloffs, alternate picking, sliding, bending and some very basic string-skipping.Hope you like it :)
Tempo: 140 BPM
TimeSig: 4/4
Scale: D Ionian (Major)
