While My Guitar Gently Sweeps

Hi everybody!

I'm back to the electric guitar for this lesson. I wrote this solo over a chord progression reminescent of "While my guitar gently weeps" by The Beatles. I suggest you listen to this tune.

On the album version (The White Album) the solo was played by Eric Clapton.

I use some sweeping licks. So, the solo should be named.. While my guitar gently sweeps.

:-| I'm a humorist, I know.

Seriously, feel free to change the timing and try to adapt these licks in your own playing.

However, this lesson is not a sweeping exercise! So I hope it will be useful also for players that are still learning this technique.

Gear used:

Washburn N2 -> Marshall Valvestate VS230 -> Shure SM57 mic -> PC

I used a rotary effect (software) for guitar to add a kind of "vintage feel".
