Hey guys. As many of you know, Megadeth is my favorite band and I really love the song In My Darkest Hour. Its a great song.
So, since its so epic, I thought, maybe I'll add some strings/keyboard (inspired by Children Of Bodom on this idea), make it a bit more progressive, and add another solo. Here's what I came up with.

As you'd notice, I added some some extra sections (Drums and Bass, an extra solo), added strings, tweaked drums and bass a lot, replacing hi-hat with ride cymbal in some sections, making the bass do Octave notes with the power chords and some other stuff.
No, to the main point - THE SOLO (staring bar 161)
I wish to incorporate these techniques in the solo
- Sweeps (Not Covered)
- Alternate Picking (I think I did cover it)
- Legato (Covered a bit)
- Tapping (Covered enough I think)
- Bends, Vibratos and some more emotional playing
- Exotic scale runs, combining above mentioned techniques
I think I've got enough space for everything.(Maybe a bit less )
Post the additions in a GP-File please. And, I know I can't play this, but this is for just my compositional skills Hope you'd appreciate this
And, on a side note, I LOVE my guitar (sarcasticaly, you know ) I can shred all this on this one, its awesome
[I wish I could break it right now ]
