    Despite being a massive metal fan, I only heard this song for the first time last night and instantly thought “this could be one of the best solos I’ve ever heard. I need to learn it”. Thanks for this, bro. Earned yourself a sub

    Every time I search to learn another badass solo, Chris's lessons come up. This one, Lucretia, .. not the biggest hits, but definitely the most wicked solos!

    Chris you do such a phenomenal job with this one.... the feel is just right, and to me, that's the heart of this solo

  • @YashRaatikainen
    @YashRaatikainen 4 роки тому +18

    I don't understand why this solo is not in the all time greatest solos list. This monster solo is amazingly melodic and criminally underrated
    I am not sure if it was eric peterson or skolnick who wrote this

    • @woodchuk1
      @woodchuk1 7 років тому +1

      Jakub Turliński Well, I don't know much about his gear at this time...but the "dreamy" feel to the arpeggios before the verse and at the fade out can be accomplished with the Crystals setting on the Eventide Pitchfactor pedal. Essentially it's a combination of dual channel reverse delay, pitch shifting, and reverb. It sounds like he has a slight amount of reverb and a chorus effect going on in the solo.

    Have you ever had an injury that hurts your playing? I wrecked a muscle in my pickhand so playing can give me a shooting pain,and after I thought it healed I played my seven string and I guess the tension was too much and bam! pain came right back. More healing time and downtuned guitars I guess.

    • @Timi2424
      @Timi2424 7 років тому

      comparing as a whole is retarded, and i still think this solo isn't as hard as some other, thats obvious, it's just my opinion, don't grip to my every line. kind regards dude

    @kurzackd 7 років тому +2

    man, the notes are right but somehow the tone, style and just overall "feel" is very distant from what is found on the album. Not saying it's necessarily bad, but I figure that reproducing the same "dreamy" feel of the original is essential if you want to make the solo sound awesome, instead of just good.

    • @stevegallegos6554
      @stevegallegos6554 2 роки тому +1

      I always just learn the solo first then add your own style and finger positions to make it easier for you
