Oh yeah and you also got to figure out what song I'm playing!
Kinda hard since the solo is improvised, not the original one, but I think you can still do it based on the keyboards and other parts.

Haha I think it's the first time I've seen it called "Cowboy" Position.

Not much I can say, but let's work on the lighting! I always record my videos during daytime do there's more lighting. Now sometimes I exagerate, but it's better with more light than with less light!

Hell yeah here it goes, maybe a little late, but I was trying to do a good job, and get it on video too!

When improvising I recommend the most starting with the Pentatonic scale, and maybe throwing in some chromatic passages to add some color tone to your soloing.



That solo is in G Minor so........ all Bs and Es are flats

Lick 1.


Alright this is the Pentatonic lick I use the most. You should probably practice this one a little lower, like starting on fret 4 or so. (Like on the video). And you should also practice it by patterns, like the first 5 notes for a minute then the next for another minute and so on, until you get the full thing like Paul Gilbert! and Yeah I stole the first lick from him, but at least I disguise it with my own things when soloing (or try to). You can see this lick on the video solo at about .0.32m.

Lick 2.

Since Lick #1 has an ascending feel to it, we need a descending one! you know, so it flows..... again practice it by patterns until you get the whole thing going. And yeah, the best way to do this is a METRONOME. This lick can be seen at about 0.29m on the solo video.

Lick 3.

A legato Metal type of lick I got from a teacher at the National Guitar Workshop. Practice the first 6 notes for a minute non-stop (And this will get you tired! But don't worry, you'll gain strenght, if you feel PAIN then you stop). Then the next 6 and so on. Once you're done with all the patterns, practice the whole thing flowingly for a minute too. This lick is really useful when ending solos, IE. Kissing the Shadows solo.


Lick 4.

Just a miscellanous lick that I throw in the solo. Very useful when you want a lick that can be played over and over without loosing sense and to get people's attentio too. This lick can be seen at about 0.20-0.21m on the video

And the video with all these licks

All that hard work for nothing? not even one reply? Slaesh? Where are you at?


What about figuring out the songs name? I know for sure Bodomite would have got it, but I thought you guys could have too.
