  Thanks, Ivan. Actually, the initial idea was to leave the tapping out in this lesson but, I thought a few tapping lines couldn't hurt.

  Hey, thanks lcsdds.
  
  I guess missing out the tapping would be kinda unnatural for me.

  Awesome! What a great explanation and approach to writing solos. I've never thought of doing that on a piano. (only wish I could play piano!)
  
  Great on screen tab too. This is so cool. Thanks, Aleksander!

  Thank you Jeff. I'm very pleased that you find this lesson helpful.
  
  Composing solos on a piano or a keyboard is one approach. But the initial idea is to compose a solo on an instrument other then guitar. In that case you would not have any specific patterns that you would usually use when soloing on guitar, but a blank space on which you would write something completely new.
  
  So, IMO you don't need to be very skillful in playing e.g. piano to be able to find the right notes.
  
  Or, why not try singing the solo before playing it on the guitar.

  That's wild, great playing!
  
  I'll give this a try soon.
  
  Reminds me a little of something off Satriani's Engines of Creation CD...a little Borg Sex vibe in the backing track or something. I like it.
- Vasilije Vukmirovic19th March 2009
  Really interesting solo! Backing track is fantastic, I like to jam over those drum&bass stuff. Maybe I record my take, ako me ne bue mrzelo:)

  Thanks man
  
  If you need some additional instructions, just PM, and I'll be happy to help you.
  
  It is definitely inspired by 'Engines of Creation'.

  Watching it again, your style is original man, you are a great player, what do you do with the pick when you start tapping??
- misterj22nd March 2009
  I know i already posted about your licks and phrasing, but i have to say, i also love your tone! What are you playing thru?

  I forgot to mention, thanks for reminding, I hold the pick with my right hand middle finger, since I don't need that finger on those particular tapping lines.

  Thanks I use a Fender preamp for boosting signal, and IK Multimedia Amplitube 2.1 VST plugin.
