  Well, I think it recalls Spyro Gyra style, obviously in a very simple issue

Hi GMC and welcome to my new lesson,

This time I have written little funky-soul tune. The most important thing in this lesson will be phrasing and dynamics.
Adding some drive to your tone will be very helpful - this will give the desired sound.
Before practicing this lesson, please listen the backing track and feel the groove - it really helps :)

We are going to use:

- vibrato,

- bending,

- slides

Key: e-minor,

Scales: e-minor scale, e pentathonic minor scale

I used Guitar Rig 4 for solo and rythm

The lesson is available in the guitar pro 5 file, backing tracks included.

Hope you like it,

Piotr
