Well done Fayeed! First time I listened I loved the classic rock intro but wasn't sure where it was headed then those beautiful fluid (as Kris said) melodic solo lines just sucked me into this lesson. May take the rest of my life but this is a definite bookmark! I hope you make a series out of this style. Love it!

Great lesson mate- Fayeed Tan16th June 2014
Thank you everybody! You're all very kind!
again a fantastic lesson...as always too hard for me but also as always many little licks I can learn and use....
YES! You can use little bits of them in your own playing enjoy!YEAH!! Awesome Fayeed. It's interesting to see how you build fluid lines with two note per string and also how you rely on major harmonies for a positive yet strong songwriting effect. We want more!! =)
ah! Long story but to summarize the whole 2 notes per string thing. It's because I have no choice 'coz I got really short fingers so I had to make use of what I have. Thanks Kris!
YES! You'll have more!Yes.. a new lesson from Fayeed. All is good in the world !

What's up everyone!
Ready for some exciting new lesson from me? Here's modern rock soloing. A combination of different techniques, musical ideas & melodic concepts that I've learned over the years of experience - all in one solo. This will show you how I would personally solo over these types of backing tracks & it will also show you how to sound more musical rather than just playing licks by the use of bends, slides, vibratos, etc. As you all know I'm not that big into alternate picking so my right hand technique is purely hybrid picking & of course my left hand is mostly legato & more emphasized on two notes per string. I hope you'll enjoy learning this as much as I did making it. Cheers! - F.T.
Note: you might notice some notes being picked in the main video then I did legato in the lesson section. That's because I don't think too much on which note to pick, pluck or hammer on. It's really just a matter of feel in this case.
