  Hey Wyvernx! It could be. Blind Guardian's music and guitar work is very interesting. I don't know if there are too many GMC fans of them but I'll think about it. Thank you Jammer!

Hello GMC! This lesson is a solo in the style of power metal bands like Angra, Gamma Ray, Stratovarius, and others. It begins with a nice minor scale melody and then you have a very speed alternate picking part that includes some licks in the style of Yngwie Malmsteen.

In this solo we will use E minor scale, E harmonic minor scale and also some arpeggios.

This is the chord progression:

Em – B – D –A – C – G – B – B

I recorded 2 backing track loops (150 bpm & 130 bpm) for you to practice and improvisation.

Enjoy the solo!
