Here is my take with the backing. Files to follow
 *KEY 80's Whitesnake Moments 1.)Set up the "Melody through line" straight away 2.)Adding a Harmony to the tapping lick 3.)Overlayed Harmonics 4.)Increased complexity to a climax four note tapping bit. In short, pretty much TEXTBOOK 80's Power Ballad Cheese!!!!! And some of the most fun I've had crafting a solo!We talked about all this in two full vid chat sessions so hopefully it all made sense during the lesson and hopefully encourages folks to join in! https://soundcloud.com/techniqueswithtodd/todd-with-backing-whitesnake SOLO ONLY FILE 
Todd_NO_Backing_Whitesnake_Xmas_Collab_.mp3 ( 1.54MB )
Number of downloads: 157P.S. TONE CONTROLS: I used, quite simply, direct recording and the DEVIN TOWNSEND EPIC SOLO preset from "Guitar Gods" expansion pack on EZ MIX 2. It's so staggeringly simple to decent tone these days! Gotta love it Todd This post has been edited by Todd Simpson: Dec 13 2013, 08:31 AM |

Thanks!!!
Glad you like it! I focused a lot more on the melody construction and building around it than per usual going blitzkrieg on it Those licks are part of LESSON 238 and LESSON 239 for reference and the tablature is in the notes! http://bit.ly/gmclesson238 http://bit.ly/gmclesson239 The tone is a one click patch from EZ MIX 2/Gutar Gods Expansion Pack. I really dig it for solo work, it's a DEVIN TOWNSEND patch called EPIC SOLO If one is working quickly, or on a portable system, or just wants to get to recording and skip the tweaking phase, this package delivers. You can't really tweak it much, but for just getting straight to recording before one loses the ideas at hand, it's great.QUOTE (Ben Higgins @ Dec 13 2013, 04:20 AM) Wow, T-Meister ! That's gotta be my fave ever solo from you - the tone is gorgeous and the melodies are perfecto !! Your always welcome! The more the merrier. It's a blast when the room is packed with folks!

Hey Ben, here is my take without the video graphics. Just in case you would rather have a cleaner looking video to use instead.
