Gabriel Leopardi26th August 2008.... gabriel Am i right if I say that the first part is HUGELY inspired by slash's knockin on heavens door solo?
I didn't have that song in mind when I compposed this lesson... (I was inspired in Ozzy's ballads) but Slash is one of my favourite guitar players.. so...

Sir Schmoopy15th August 2008Great lesson!
fkalich24th May 2008I agree Carlos. Sometimes the best are not the hardest. Actually, most of the time I think. However this is one with a good sounding Les Paul's name on it.

Great! I added some reverb on the guitar channel during the mix.

- Verm13th March 2008

Danilo Capezzuto25th February 2008Great Zakkesque.
Taragon6th February 2008well i guess your right
- Gabriel Leopardi6th February 2008
yes, there is only one way. Practice hard, slowly with metronome that part, many hours every. There isn't a secret.. just practice. - Taragon6th February 2008
There is just no way for me to play that fast part.. i get alot of ugly string noise
- Martin la guitarra5th February 2008
kk, thanx
- Gabriel Leopardi5th February 2008
The only way to play fast in one string is alternate picking. There is another technique called economy picking that consist in use sweeps when you cross adjacent string but when you are playing many notes in each one string you have you use upstrokes and downstrokes... this technique doubles your speed.
- Martin la guitarra4th February 2008
gab, when u are speedpicking, is it essential to play both downstrokes and upstokes?
Im asking u because i can play downstrokes, im trying to improve my uptrokes but there is no way that i can play that fast even if i practice for months, will it do if i´ll just do downstokes? - Taragon1st February 2008
great lesson, this is exactly what i wanted to play

- Giacinto27th October 2007
ah now i see what it is. thank you i was just wondering why there is no L in the .gp5 file. It is the ) <--- ( turn this 90 degree) in the note part!!
man thanks this explains everything o.O
cheers ;-) - Gabriel Leopardi28th October 2007
Hi man! A tie is a curved line connecting the heads of two notes of the same pitch, indicating that they are to be played as a single note with a duration equal to the sum of the individual notes' note values.
It's not important if you are reading tabs because we don't use note values. The "L" is generated when I export the tabs from the guitar pro where you have all the note values (including the tied notes).
gabriel.- - Giacinto27th October 2007
hmm what means tied for my playing o.O?
sorry i am from germany and cant find a good translation in my dictionary...
btw. the angles you chose are brilliant!
one of my fav. lessons i love zakk - Gabriel Leopardi27th October 2007

L means "tied note".

Hello! Today I recorded a guitar solo lesson inspired in Zakk Wylde’s guitar playing. The backing track is similar Black Label Society’s and also Ozzy Osborne’s rock ballads where Zakk usually plays the piano too.
In this lesson we’ll use some of his most used licks and techniques in this type of songs and it’s a good lesson for beginner/intermediate player that likes playing rock.
You will also find some Slash influences in this solo. I think that it’s because they both have the same main influences: Jimmy Page and Jimi Hendrix
The backing track’s key is A minor and I used A pentatonic minor to compose the solo. The tempo is 85bpm.
I hope that you enjoy it!
Gabriel.-
