    This tab is now available in Guitar Pro format. You can find it here mymusic.st/nikolagugoski/78884
    IMPORTANT: Scale names might not be 100% accurate, but that's how it was easiest for me to navigate through this solo. For someone who is seeing this for the first time: I'm showing the scales that are used in this solo. Red dots are the notes played in each position. Blue dots are passing notes (they are not part of the scale). Again, feedback on how to make this better is welcome :D

    I bought my first guitar, it was an acoustic, around one and a half years ago, some more, but due to school dropped it. This solo is what inspired me to, after a year, get an electric. I thought I'd never be able to play something like this, but after half a year and some of practice I came back to this video from since I first saw it, and I was able to pick it up very quickly! Since then, I've also enrolled in a music school, studying guitar & jazz, apart from my main course of study. Guitar's a journey I've just begun and I'm sticking to it 'til I can't play anymore

      3 mo is long enough. first day or maybe a week is memorization then mastering in the following days, you don't have to play like 4 hours straight. you can do it like 30 mins per day. you'll be shocked when you realize your progress. i've memorized this in 1 day, now my 1st week of mastering and im trying to do it with slower beats. I also record my practices and listen to it like an hour after my practice and realize micro mistakes like wrong timings or bad bending of strings (flat or sharp). im a slow learner yet this practicing exercise helps me a lot and i hope this helps other people too

    Holy wow I just found your channel and as an advanced guitarist this is an amazing resource. Every other channel is more targeted towards beginners, but as an advanced player sometimes you just need clarification on a line or a few notes here and there, and just having good close-up footage of hands on a fretboard is nice, and the tab is just a bonus for less advanced players. Truly awesome man, keep it up!

  • @mattlawson714
    @mattlawson714 2 роки тому +1

    You are my hero. I recently commented on your “time” solo about how this is the best way to learn a solo. You are providing a service that basically nobody else offers. You are clearly an amazing guitar player but you weren’t just showing off, you are creating content to help other guitar players reach their goals and play things they never thought they could. Because you understand that trying to play a solo at its original speed is often detrimental, you were just practicing bad habits. I unless you are already an elite level guitar player, you just have to slow this stuff down. My hat is off to you my friend.

    • @mattlawson714
      @mattlawson714 2 роки тому

      I feel bad about even making a suggestion because you do this so well, but we often don’t see the next bar of music until you hit the first note so it can be a little bit hard to plan ahead for the notes afterwards, if you could show the upcoming bar just like one second earlier I think that would make it easier for people to play along. This is not a criticism, I love what you do.

  • @julianburmeister9489
    @julianburmeister9489 2 роки тому +2

    This lesson is just great man! By learning this solo, a player can discover so much about music: the chord shapes that are played out, the odd chord notes you are bending to, the blues licks, the the dual voiced arpeggios. It's good for an analysis how you can interpret a solo over such a common chord progression and you can really shape your own finger sound by practicing it a low and lower overdrive: because it forces you to give it your own personal touch, if you ever want to be able to play it fluently.

    You rock!
    I'm a novice guitar player; I've never vibrated or bent a string before, only played open neck position chords. Yet using your video, in just a few hours, I was able to play sections of this solo.

I seem to learn better when using tabs, so thank you for posting this!! I think with this, I will be able to break it down into manageable segments, which may make it less intimidating.

I’m halfway through the solo in just about 3 weeks. You teach it slow but not that slow and not too fast. Never in my entire life would I thought to be able to PLAY This solo on guitar.
