In this "famous solo" lesson we will take a look at the extremely cool guitar solo found in "18 And Life" by Skid Row.
The lead guitarist on this Skid Row track was Scotti Hill who created an instant classic with a solo containing some nice melodic licks, liberal use of pinch harmonics and little bit of flash at the end.
In this 18 And Life guitar solo lesson, I will teach you note-for-note how to play all of those techniques.
All in all besides being one of the greatest power ballads ever written "18 And Life" is Skid Row's most successful single to date. You need to have a great solo to compliment such a great song and it is a good thing that Scotti Hill definitely delivered the goods with this one.
Except for a couple fast licks towards the very end of the solo, I think an intermediate level player could handle playing this guitar solo. The pinch harmonics can be a bit tricky, but finding the right spot on your guitar for those harmonics is the key. After you have done that it shouldn't be much of an issue.
I think the solo for "18 And Life" is also a great one to study to learn how to create a solo that compliments a song well. There were lot's of good ones written in the 80's, but in most players opinions, the solo for "18 And Life" is one of the very best. It has everything a great 80's guitar solo needed, melody, a few cool guitar tricks, a memorable hook and a little bit of guitar flash.
If you want to learn the rest of this classic power ballad, just make sure that you help this video get to the goal of 600 UA-cam "likes". After it reaches that goal I will be back here teaching the entire song.
Hope you guys enjoy learning this classic solo from probably the greatest era for rock guitar lovers! Well at least it's my favorite era!

Carl. Iv been following your videos for as long as i can remember. 10 years or more. You have basically taught me how to play. I show your vids to everybody when they ask if i have takin lessons. It would be a huge pleasure to get a pick guard signed by you. Anyway to make that happen would be a huge treat. Anyways thanks for the thousands of hours spent with your videos. Rock on man!

Wow, I never knew this would be my favorite solo to play. So awesome
ive always loved this song, and usually I try to avoid learning my favorites, but this solo is stuck in my head note for note. I decided to go ahead and try to play it, but the guitar tabs I looked up didn't really seem to translate well. On a whim I looked it up on youtube, and WOW! thank you so much for the very easy to get lesson, I am now more excited to play than ever. one small critique, what scale is he using for the solo? knowing the scale helps me memorize it. THANK YOU SO FRIGGIN MUCH!!!
I don't understand, the man post several great videos and where's the likes ?? Some of them need just 600 !! Just a old guy from Brasil !!

That's really nice Carl, sounds great. It's going to a challenge, I'm working hard but still don't have much speed, also, have you ever done a tutorial on pinch harmonics? I just can't figure them out... (please help) -buddy
Check his site in the description, there is a detailed lesson on that, learned it a while ago from there :)
+Zeka, thanks so much, I'm heading that way now. I've tried learning from other sites and it just hasn't clicked. I'll see if I can get it once more. Thanks again, -buddy

The hardest part is getting correct thumb placement. But once you get it, I'll bet you'll think to yourself. Wow this is easy, at least that was true for me.
BTW, doing Pinch Harmonics on the downstroke is the easy part. Doing it on the upstroke is the hard part. I still can't do that whenever I want. If you can do PH on the upstroke you are golden.
Found it on Carl's site. It's amazing what he has for free on his site, just amazing!
Thank you your lesson
Is greate
