Kristofer Dahl19th July 2009What a masterpiece Emir! =) And yes, to me building climax is one of the coolest things you can do with music.
Emir Hot19th July 2009Thank you Kristofer. I find that "climax" thing really essential when arranging music in general.

Fran19th July 2009Great Emir!, reminded me of Scorpions 
Nighthawk119th July 2009Brilliant lesson Emir I like the Climax idea, very crucial for a good solo... I have noticed this concept in your Rock Ballad Lesson also!
Thanks
skennington19th July 2009Great job Emir! That really built tension then released it nicely..

Bogdan Radovic19th July 2009This was very effective! Climax part was really breathtaking...
AlexLion19th July 2009Really inspiring and pleasant to watch, and listen to it! That "move" from fast shredding to that tasty bend was incredible! Can You point me on some material (books\or maybe some instructional dvd`s) which can give me deep theory base, to create music like that in future?
NoSkill19th July 2009Epic finish, Emir. You engage with the instrument, rather than just hold it. Very cool to watch and listen to.
Emir Hot19th July 2009 If I felt different way the whole solo would have probably sounded different. I love how Kee Marcello from Europe makes solos. Listen to his amazing arrangements from "Out of this world" and "Prisoners in paradise" albms - you might get some inspiration from there if you like these kind of solos.
Alexiaden9319th July 2009Oh my God ! That climax truly was unexpected, Emir ! I found the whole progression extremely well made, and that insane shredding part just before the end blew my mind !
You rock !
AlexLion19th July 2009Thanks Emir Well, then very important are imagination and very good pitch and of course skills, which allow to deliver the music how you want. I`ll go listen to Europe

THE BUZZARD20th July 2009hi emir, one day i hope i will become as good as you emir, then my GMC experience will have been worth it, your lessons keep me inspired...thanks bro.
Déjà vu20th July 2009WOW! "Climax in a solo" *drools*. There is simply nothing as cool as an epic buildup. Emir, this is now my new favorite lesson!
Brilliant idea for a lesson!
Emir Hot20th July 2009 This lesson is only about how I feel when I compose something. Just transfer your feelings to the music and I am sure everybody can feel it. That's what I call an art.

Hi
This time I would like to introduce you my favorite approach when composing a solo. The principle is very simple. You start slowly and building up the atmosphere bar by bar. What is interesting here is that I like to "shock" the listener with some unexpected part. Half way through the solo I switch to an "explosion" of lick and fast lines played really agressively. That part can be treated like a whole separate section where again I start with longer notes and towards the end I have a very fast line which I call "climax in a solo". The whole solo is like one story that has 2 different sections. To me every solo is like a singing on the guitar. I always tend to make melodies like it was done by a singer. That way I am trying not sound boring with some usual and repetitive patterns but rather creating something which is nice for the ear and always keeping the listener interested in what's coming next.
Technically you should be able to control long notes very carefuly with a wide and long vibrato. There are a couple of moments where I use pickup switch to color the sound acording to the song atmosphere. I start the song with the neck pickup position. When I start the 2nd section I play on the bridge position and just before the fastest run I switch back to neck position to get the smoother and warmer sound instead of keeping it agressive all the time. Many things to think of in just 1 minute of soloing but that's what makes a real challenge.
This solo is mainly in D minor (aeolian) scale. A couple of times I have E7 diminished notes and once D dorian #4 and A phrygian dominat note. These are played just once for less than a second so I didn't include the scale chart for that. D minor is your base and you should only think that mode throughout the whole piece.
I hope you can get some useful licks from here and see you soon with some different style.
Emir
