Hi everybody
It's been a while since I've done the last collab. Here is an interesting one where you can show how creative you are when it comes to producing a nice solo using licks only. I have done a GMC lesson on this backing track and it should be published soon. I am big fan of good and tasty rock licks. Some of you might have noticed that I usually pay attention to melody in every solo. I almost always develop it with slow long notes and speed up later. We won't use this approach here. In this collaboration I want you to try to make a solo from bunch of different licks and still get the same effect without going for a specialy developed theme. You can go for each lick about every 2 bars and when your lick is connected with the previous one they should work together as a melody. Remember, we don't need a theme as a melody, only bunch of licks but wisely structured so that we can hear the whole solo as a complete strong unit. Please look at the chart below. I left you a chord progression and scale options below each chord. You can notice that you can play A minor pentatonic licks over the whole track. For those more experienced guys there are modal options so you can feel free to use them as well. You can use any technique from tapping, arpeggio, picking etc... but we want to hear that you made a solo of licks. The backing track is 110bpm and you should start your solo from the bar 3. Please follow instructions from this list:
The deadline is January 27th (3 weeks from now). All levels are welcome to participate and there is no limit of participants. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. ruben_mcn 2. maharzan 3.

Yes, it has. I have a question, probably a really dumb one, and I don't even know how to ask it. I can do the pentatonic part. But if I want to use the alternate scales you have provided, do I simply reference the indicated scales and play anywhere on the neck. Or would they only be appropriate in specific positions? See it is dumb... heheh no it's not dumb. This is the place where you can ask anything related to this collab. You can play anything anywhere, I am not asking for any specific position. All I am asking is to have a solo made of licks rather than melodies and themes. For example you want a dorian lick. You can search for some GMC lessons in Dorian mode and grab a cool lick from there. Find a good place to stick it into your solo and make sure that it fits with the next and the previous one so that whole solo together makes sense, not just randomly thrown licks. It is entirely up to you where on the neck you are going to play things. Just be in the right scale and make something that sounds cool. For example, almost every Zakk Wylde solo is made of licks. You play a lick then resolve on some nice note, then go for the next one, etc... until you make the whole solo. I hope this helps. That shouldn't matter much Toroso, since it is the same tones in every position I would like to give it ago. This will also be my first collab entry Welcome Ruzz I added you on the list -------------------- Check out my <a href="https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/instructor/Emir-Hot" target="_blank">Instructor profile</a>
