I'm trying to learn the solo in Europe - The Final Countdown and I'm having a hard time with the speedy stuff in the beginning of the solo.. I don't get how to play it.. Anyone here that can play the solo and explain the rhythmic pattern and how it works? I've attached the correct tab.. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Yea it sometimes helps to actually put it all down and ask the question, makes you look at it a bit differently if your stuck with something, plus the help you get from everyone gives some direction too, glad you worked it out You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

It feels good when that happens : ) Khaos Keith, hehe actually I'm a terrible tapper, it's supposed to be very easy right? :S I can play it reasonably fast but I never get it to sound good in the sense that I feel it's good enough for a solo, don't know what I'm doing wrong.. I think my fingers are much too weak to be able to hit the strings with the strength required to produce a sound loud enough.. So I'll go for the picking stuff ^^ You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
