Of course, feel free to add your own style to it!! ok, if you've mostly played "tradtional solos" before, then maybe you'll find it a bit confusing with the odd number of notes So my advise is to focus on the notes that comes on the beat (or rather; the notes that carries the melody), and let the rest of the notes "float in between". I'd love to hear your version when you're done! -Marcus You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I like how it was progressive and groovy at the same time. Also - it was really cool to hear you solo with a dryer tone. Although I personally prefer your usual guitar tone - it sounded really cool in this tune! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Totally agree with the above-mentioned, the song but especialy the solo is mind blowing, but i thought the solo in the videolesson was by far more cooler than in the original song, but hey thats only my own opinion. Would be really nice if you could do some more lessons with a "resembled" solo Did you mix the songs by yourself? I'm willing to give the winding roads solo a try, but it will be a challenge to play the solo with the same amount of feeling into it /Patrik You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Jan 31 2008, 07:21 PM	Instructor Posts: 2.537 Joined: 27-May 07 From: Gothenburg, Sweden	Thanks Iluha and Patrik! Yes, I agree. The solo takes in the original song isn't very good. I was very young when I recorded it and I remember I didn't play it in one take, so the "live feel" isn't really there... yes, I mix all the songs myself!

I like the original a little better! Not that the lesson isn't incredible, I just hear the original to have a little more "edge". I actually hear a few more notes in it too. Either way, I would give anything to be able to play that lead! (ok - well almost anything ) You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
