   We already had some metal riffing lessons, so now it's time for metal soloing.
After a monster solo lesson by David Walliman i decided to create another metal solo lesson so you guys can have a wider insight into metal soloing! Have fun and dive in the world of METAL SOLOING!!

Ooops - will be fixed! hehe It's funny how you check all the tabs 10 times and you still have some mistakes. Will be fixed in the afternoon.

Anyway i hope you'll like the lesson! smile.gif

I like the parts where you show your fingers moving very slowly and clearly. That makes things easier to learn. The lessons on this site are unsurpassed in the known universe, IMHO. I still think that hole in the body of your guitar is a bottle opener.

incredible lesson!

question

when you do a tril, it looks like your doing a verry fast hammer-on pullof. is this correct? cause i don't know that a trill is
Pavel
post 13th April 2007


Instructor


Thanks a lot guys!

@jolke19 - you're right man! A trill IS a fast hammer-on and pull-off!

what does the bracket( ) means ?
Pavel
post 13th April 2007


Instructor


It means you play a trill, ex:

13(14) - it means you play a trill from 13th to 14th fret, you pick 13th, hammer-on 14th and pull-off from 14th to 13th fret.

In the riff from video 5 what harmony do you use?
Pavel
post 19th April 2007


Instructor


It's not strictly defined - it changes through the lick. Part of it is played in the interval of 6th.

Great lesson ,I love how you and william are coming out with more lessons.So far you have been my favorite to learn from.This one will take me some time.Thanks for another great lesson.Also maybe you could make a lesson on how to mute the other strings when playing solo's to keep it nice and clean sounding.I have a bit of trouble when trying to play some solo's without it sounding sloopy.A lesson where you are explaining how to play smooth with no extra noise would benifit a lot of us here i think.Hope you understand what im talking about.Thanks Shredmandan

Pavel,
i had a question about the tabs.What does it mean when ---6---- is wrote above the tabs?Just wanted to make sure i know what that means.Thanks keep up the awesome guitar playing
Pavel
post 21st April 2007


Instructor


It means you play 6 notes per beat. So if you have 6 notes and the ----6---- above them it means you have to play all 6 notes on one metronome click (beat).

Amazing, dude!
But why can't anyone come up with some Dimebag Darrell-lessons?
But that was some great material, man!
Pavel
post 21st April 2007


Instructor


Thanks a lot guys!

Well, i will speak for myself - i am not a fan of Dimebag and that's why i don't think i would be able to create a good "in style of" lesson.

Hey Pavel how fast are you playing the pattern in video 6. Thanks for the awesome videos!
Pavel
post 28th April 2007


Instructor


You're welcome m8!

That's why i loev 6-tuplets. You can play the song in a medium tempo but than hit some 6-tuplet runs in and it sounds very fast (actually it IS fast) smile.gif

Hi,

I'm practicing this bit, but I was wondering how most of you guys do the fast hammer-on/pull-off part.

The way I do it now is making a downward motion during the righthand pull-offs and and upward motion during the lefthand pull-offs.

Is that the way it should be done? To me it seems the easiest way to do it.

I have no idea what tr is or how do to it=P anyone help?
Pavel
post 5th May 2007


Instructor


It's fast hammer-on and pull-off.
13(14) - you pick the 13th fret and then do fast hammer-on to 14th fret and than pull-off back to 13th. smile.gif

hey pavel, great lesson, im currently practicing the Sweep + Tapping lick in Video 2. I can play the lick pretty good, muting is great, but i cant play it at speed. So i decided to try with a metronome, but idk what metronome settings to use to start. Can you help me. Thanks in advance.

i think this myt be related to fret dancers question except that im busy on the first video. hw would u practise that piece to a metronome cuz it has alot of different notes (sixteenth , eight, eight and a half) any tips?
Pavel
post 16th July 2007


Instructor


@FretDancer: i am so sorry - i didn't notice your question a month ago sad.gif

This is the part:


|--------------------13h-17-18p-17-13----------------|
|--15-------------15------------------15-------------|
|--------------14------------------------14----------|
|-----------15------------------------------15-------|
|--------17------------------------------------17----|
|----------------------------------------------------|


This is all one bar - first note is a quarter so it takes 1 beat, the whole sweep lick is 2 beats - because the notes are 6-tuplets - 12 notes mean 2 beats, and the last note is a quarter. Set the metronome pretty slowly and than speed it up gradually! Please ask if you need some more info! Sorry again for such a late answer!

@sillyman: the whole first part is one bar. So jsut listen to how i play it and try to fit it into one bar - 4 clicks! smile.gif
If you use a Guitar Pro it would be much easier for you to read it! Maybe you could get it?

this lesson is awesome,the first lick is so cool

just a quick question, how many notes per beat are 32nd notes?
Pavel
post 8th August 2007


Instructor


1/4 -> 2x1/8 -> 4x1/16 -> 8x1/32

So, it's 8 32nd notes in 1 beat -> 32 notes per bar!

For the last bit with the Speed picking lick, when I see you playing it up to speed it looks to me like 1 continuous upward motion, like economy picking, I just needed a little clarification becuase i've noticed this alot with other guitarists and was wonding if it is straight-up Alternet picking motion.

Magnificent Lesson!
