, again another one of my experiments, bought the body and neck from WD music, I dyed the wood blue and used tinted blue lacquer for the sunburst, you can barely see it on the video but it is there. DiMarzio pickups, both of them are hum cancelling. I am happy with this guitar great tone, sounds nothing like a real tele, lots of sustain on this one.
Crazyfret20th March 2009Gr8 lesson and solo Jose :-).
I'll have to learn this solo some gr8 licks in there.
Emir Hot20th March 2009Awesome Jose. I like all your lessons man
Pi3820th March 2009Really awesome lesson here, Jose. This is exactly the type of lesson I love. I would totally try to learn it right now if my B string hadn't broken a few days ago. But, as soon as I get a new set, I'm going to take a crack at learning this. Great job!
Stephane Lucarelli20th March 2009Cool lesson Jose ! I love your tele too
( Handmade guitar if I understood ? )
Crazyfret20th March 2009I'm addicted to this solo now....can't stop listening to it!
Might have to ask you for advice to master the tripplet section...not very good at such things yet but I know it would add a dimension to my playing.
fkalich20th March 2009Which pickup are you using on your tele, the bridge? Also, is the bridge pickup stock? Thanks.
SensE20th March 2009Very nice playing , Jose. Very nice tele too. I hope you can make me one 
Crazyfret20th March 2009sorry about spamming this feedback but just listened to the demo of the song you've done and now understand how the solo follows the vocal line....superb
Kuba Szafran20th March 2009Great solo Jose, it's great to hear more stuff from Meno !
Nazgul20th March 2009Awesome solo, I especially like the second part!
Bondy20th March 2009Thats cool A Jose custom special lol awesome!!!
Jose Mena20th March 2009 !
AlexLion20th March 2009What a catchy melody here! Really nice lesson, as always, and you make awesome guitars! Amazing look and sound is even better!
p.s.- and stock means that it cames from factory like that(no changes made), but here i see you changed it to Dimarzio as you mentioned:)

Ramiro Delforte20th March 2009Lovely lesson Jose!
Jerry Arcidiacono20th March 2009Great solo and great tone here
beautiful playing jose, I've missed your lessons man
Vasilije Vukmirovic21st March 2009Very melodic solo!
Berglmir21st March 2009Your lessons always leave me in awe - great melody and tone.
How THIS lesson can be rated "4" is quite beyond me, because that´s usually the level I see my skill atm.
It´ll be summer before I master this lesson vaguely! ;-)
kaznie_NL21st March 2009You're tone is the best ever xD do you use Pod Patches? If so, please post it!
Jose Mena21st March 2009Thanks guys
fkalich23rd March 2009"Stock" is a common colloquial term meaning "standard original equipment", as it comes from the factory. I was wondering if you had replaced your bridge pickup as you apparently had at the neck, and which of the pickups you were using in this recording.
Carlos Carrillo23rd March 2009Beautiful lesson Jose! I love it!
Aleksander Sukovic23rd March 2009Very nice solo, Jose. And great job on that tele!
Ivan Milenkovic24th March 2009Beautiful licks Jose, sounds excellent!

Gabriel Leopardi26th March 2009Very cool solo Jose and nice guitar!
Dexxter26th March 2009Very nice and very Mena-ish 
And I'm not kidding
kahall28th March 2009This is going to be fun.
Jose Mena31st March 2009Hey Guys, been away for a while, I was in Lima last week, still tired from the trip and trying to catch up
And I'm not kidding Goodgoodgood! It would be awesome to be able to do this kind of stuff myself, could you give any advice on how to practice making something similar?
Umm...
Now when I think about it one second more, this lessons point was to answer to the thing I asked about ^. So maybe I should start with learning all the things you talk about in the lesson?
Thanks again for the awesomeness 
Jose Mena17th May 2009Hey Tsarpf, didn't see this post, I missed it. I guess you want to compose these kind of solos yourself, the best answer I can think of is play the backing and see what you come up with in your head don't touch the guitar, don't look at it, by looking at a fretboard you might be tempted to play a pattern you already know. Even record yourself singing the melody, and then try to imitate it with the guitar, later you can throw in some known patterns of yours in between the lines that were done in your head.
Alexiaden9327th May 2009Wow ! A perfect collection of solo licks, Jose ! Well done !

A simpler solo focused on phrasing.
Hello again! Welcome to my new lesson about phrasing, I had some requests for this after the first two I did, so here you go.
This time the solo is simpler, almost no fast playing here, instead for the climax of the solo I play less notes.
This is from a Meno song called Hearts Get Broken, and this is an extended solo version, played live sometimes when we want to make the songs longer and burn some time.
Usually during the climax of a solo I start playing more notes and faster, but an equally efective approach is to play less notes and follow the main melody of the vocals. You will hear that when the chord progression changes I start playing one note over and over, as if the guitar is now the lead singer, when this is done it catches the audience's ear because I am playing something that is familiar to them.
The whole solo is in the key of F#, the rhythm is fun and easy to play to. Hope you like it, and jam with your own ideas over the backing track.
