The album has been released in 2009 and there are many similar melodic themes. This one is a good vibrato exercise and also great for a slow soloing feel and tone control.

I have done a lot of your lessons so far because I love'em..I am going to upload some so you can take a look at it- Nighthawk119th August 2008
What a great composition again !!!I envy you !
- Dejan Farkas4th July 2008
You're welcome
IMO, the best way is to tap the rhythm with your foot while playing. In the beginning do it while listening, and then join it with playing.. If you feel you cannot combine the playing with foot taping, slow it as much as it takes to get it and then gradually increase tempo
Of course, you need some reference to stay in rhythm, such as backing track, drum loop or a metronome.. but try to keep the foot taping all the time, if you stop at some difficult parts it means that you are not controlling the tempo - ndjordjevic4th July 2008
Thanks Dejan,
I figured that out. One more question: Is there a lesson or what is the best way to practice playing with a backing track? Right now when I start a backing track and try to play along, after short time I loss track, play either faster or slower. Or I just need to listen. I saw chords are written in a guitar tab, probably I have to register chords changes in backing track.
Thanks - Dejan Farkas2nd July 2008
Thanks
If you think on the note before last in the second slow video, I do not pick it, just pull off. Do you think on that? - ndjordjevic2nd July 2008
Nice sound.
Short question:
In part 2 can you please tell me after the second band and pull off do you play 5 fret 3. string twice or only once?
Thanks - Dejan Farkas29th February 2008
all the way

Hi there and welcome to my Modern Blues Theme. :)
I was jamming one day and the theme just came up. It is a slow modern blues, similar to styles of Gary Moore, Steve Vai and Joe Satriani.
In this lesson I combined the following techniques: bend, bend/release, slide, hammer-on, pull-off and vibrato. It is in A Minor key with some additions of F9 and E9+ chords.
Key signature: A Minor
Time signature: 4/4
Tempo: 60 bpm
So have fun! Feedback, comments, questions are welcome. :)
Cheers
Dejan
