Some Random Little Solo
by Enfir (Jun 19, 2013)
Here's a small solo I've been working on! It's good when played in a medium depth distortion level, but not too heavy for there are parts that requier deeper distortion. Tone can either be light and edgy, or heavy and soothing. Sounds good any way you play it though! Play it at your own speed, but be warned for it gets faster at some points!
Now, the beginning is a pretty simple, it's eight notes, ending with a half note on 8th fret F.
After, you slide up to 15th fret D and play this:
From there, move straight into this. It may be a challenging transition at first, but can be easier if slid from the 17th fret E down to the 7th fret D.
From here quickly flip up to the 3rd string for some two-finger tapping! (Hint: for these two tapping sections, TP=Tap Pointer TM=Tap Middle TR=Tap Ring.) These tapping section are played in sixteenth notes.
Move directly from the tapping into this eight note climb.
Then come back down.
Next you have this neat little lick.
Slide up and finish with this eight note lick.
OH! Here's the fill guitar 2 plays where indicated! It's four quater notes and fits in better if it's in the same tone, but deeper distortion!
Have fun playing this! Feel free to change things and comment suggestions! Enjoy!
