I myself am more of arpeggio/modal player, but now my band has gave me the role of composing custom solo for ROck you like a huricane by Scorpions. Since the whole song is based on pentatonic, I cant dwelve into modes too much (the background is just E,e,e,G,g,A,a,C,D,d, repeting till the end of time) and so I have to learn some pentatonic shredding licks.
One that appaled me was that syncopated zakk wildish lick with bending -------10------------10------------10------------10-------| I have been trying to master for a few months, but after few moments of practicing, my pinky started to hurt like hell, I was unable to play for several hours and that stupid lick is still slow and dirty as... when I begun:) Anyone has some tips for practicing this kind of stuff? Btw. any other -------------------- my youtube account with riffs and ideas: https://www.youtube.com/user/Phoenygzus

Why can't you just write your own solo?

yeah, its defo index and ring finger for this, G minor Pentatonic if im not mistaken!! D minor Pentatonic. Pentatonic is an awesome tool for rock soloing. Check out Paul Gilbert who uses it all the time and it sounds great. Or you can have a look at Muris´ Pentatonic Licks series and realize how melodic Penatonics can sound. Oh, I´d never use my pinky for such bends. |

No point using pinky as everyone said, use ring finger since it is free
