damn i didn't read the first comment :S sorry
- Gustavo31st August 2007
in first vid there is an error in the last note is on the 4th string not on the 3rd
cool solo
Juan M. Valero23rd August 2007hehe, I like those tappings !! I'm a tapping fanatic so I enjoy your lesson a lot, there are good ideas using 2 fingers taping into a pretty lyric context.
See U
Pavel13th August 2007Loudness of tapping doesn't depend on the amp but your fingers and strength of fingers!
it will get louder with time!- Victafor13th August 2007
i love doing this! my amp doesnt go loud enuf for you to hear the tapping at the end! but sometimes u can and its awesome.. great lesson very fun to play
- Gino31st July 2007
I agree! This is one of my favorite lessons from you, Pavel. You're a true asset to GMC.
- Pavel29th July 2007
I wouldn't say it's blues. To be honest i don't know which style it is
It's music and i enjoy it! Let other GMC style experts decide what it is 
Pink7029th July 2007Yet another great sound Pavel, I too, definitely like your mood and tone. So does this make a blues man?
- Pavel24th July 2007
Tabs are fixed now!
- Pavel24th July 2007
EDIT: I'll send that part of tabs to Kris so he can put it in. It's strange the tabs are wrong - really don't know how it happened. Fortunately it's just the Video number 8 that's wrong.
- Victafor23rd July 2007
sry bout the double post but i meant to say it was the tab that was wrong
- Victafor23rd July 2007
on vid 8 it looks like you added the third tap part twice and excluded the first tap part... well whatever you have a vid for it so its fine ig guess
Andrew Cockburn21st July 2007its the GMC effect
- The JEM21st July 2007
what is happening to my playin? in a course of a month my alternate picking is practically perfect. and i just started actually trying to play stuff today and i just got real good at it
- Jeffrey18th July 2007
great lesson pavel=) I've already learned most of it but the ending on page 8 I can't grasp quite yet, well not up to speed but im loving this, I just cant get enough of it=P hope there is more like this to come.
btw you should make more lessons with squeelz i lvoe them, hehe
happy playing
-jeffrey - Pavel13th July 2007
Yes - we know! Read a couple of post higher, a couple of people already said that, we fixed it, but that it got back to this i dunno why! I can't fix it on my own! The data is on server and i can't access it!
- Victafor13th July 2007
in vid 2, it should end on the d string 9 not the g string 9
- Victafor13th July 2007
you read slow solo, you go in and realize, yeah the bpm is slow... but did i mention there are 32 notes in there?
- Pavel24th June 2007
It's strange because we already fixed that and it WAS fixed but now it has that wrong note in the video number 1 again. Anyway - the main tab is correct and the GP5 tab is also correct!
- dk224th June 2007
i think the tab is wrong cause it sounds a lot better if take the last note(9) on the d string but whatever great job pavel:)
- Pavel18th June 2007
Yes Andrew you noticed that right. I don't bother with theory at all - makes it easier to dedicate yourself to a music, tune or solo... and yes passing notes are present in all of my lessons as i find them very cool sounding!
- Andrew Cockburn18th June 2007It's all in major scale (E major i think) - so if you know how a major scale sounds like - you don't need anything else!
Heh, I love the way Pavel just makes stuff up without getting hung up on the theory ... thats a good example that theory whilst interesting and useful isn't the be all and end all of music!
The chord progression was all E major, and the scales Pavel uses are almost all in the E major scale apart form a few passing notes he uses in one of the faster runs. If you wanted to improvise around this chord sequence, the E major scale would be a great place to start. - Pavel18th June 2007

- Smackdonkey18th June 2007
Great lesson, i like the tapping where you need two fingers on right hand. I play your lessons on this site mostly, you defn one of best instructors i ever seen.
for me perhaps mention of particulat scales you use would be nice, since those kinds of things we begginers try to learn and apply. ( you know those pics at bottom your other lessons have).
awesome lesson ! thnx - m4n4g3r17th June 2007
nice one ! Thanks!
Aaron16th June 2007obviosly this is my favorite lesson from you Pavel
- stratman3315th June 2007
This is so cool! This is in my range, so ill get started on it soon!
- Pavel15th June 2007
I aim for the certain one. There is no point in playing harmonic just like that. It has to sound together with the melody and the correct note. This one is an octave one i think.
Oxac15th June 2007that I know, but you can get different harmonics depending on where you hit the string with your thumb. I was wondering if you just want to create one, or you want to create one specific.
- Pavel15th June 2007
You aim for both harmonic and the correct bend to make.
- Oxac15th June 2007
Hey pavel, when creating that artificial harmonic (00:07), do you focus on what tone to reach, do you just aim for a harmonic?
Also, very nice solo. I love that reverb. 
Gen15th June 2007Great lesson! i m gonna learn this right now!
The Uncreator15th June 2007Hey great solo, i love the tapping stuff, ive been trying to use as many fingers as i can so this really helps that.
Kick ass solo!- lliber15th June 2007
nice one pavel
Ryan15th June 2007Hey sounds really good, i believe this will help me tremendously!!
Marcus Lavendell15th June 2007Awesome solo Pavel! I will definitely learn, and incorporate this technique in my playing. Thanks!
- Pavel15th June 2007
Yeah - the GP tab is correct - it's strange that it's wrong on txt tab - i just exported it from GP so it's the GP fault.
- Erik Johnson15th June 2007
On the first part of this lesson the last note ( 9 on the G string) should be 9 on the D string right?

Hey there and welcome to my new solo lesson. This was planned to be a Rock Rythm And Solo lesson but later it turned out to be a cool solo without even a rythm part in it so i just decided to rename it into Rock Solo with Tapping.
If you've only been playing the regular 3 or 4 notes tapping licks, here is your chance to move on and learn more complicated stuff and also get your right hand to participate with 2 fingers for tapping.
This lesson will also improve your bending control and legato playing!
Jump to start: Home or `s` , you can also click/tap the lesson part again (the numbers above player)
Go to next part: PageUP or End.
Volume: ArrowUp / ArrowDown keys
Go to any part: Number keys (combinations also possible)
Pause or play: `k` or space key
Fullscreen: `f`, esc to close
Increase / decrease speed : `+` or `-`
