  • Hi GMC-ers!

    This time I'll try to cover some basic phrases from some of my favorite guitarplayers, namely Slash and Zakk Wylde. This solo is in a ballad style, and the chord progression is simple. I used only 2 scales, E major blues pentatonic and the E major scale.

    The melodies are fairly easy to play, and there's only one faster lick, which requires a relaxed right hand. The picking is also easy, I use only legato runs. You can also hear some pedal steel-ish bends.

    The tuning is in D ( D, G, C, F, A, D)

    This lesson includes:

    - Vibtato
    - Phrases
    - Legato run
    - Pedal steel-ish bends

    Have fun practicing
