Kristofer Dahl7th October 2007I love this solo Gabriel - to me this is absolute perfect use of pentatonics in a rock situation + that Zakk two-note-per-string lick is one of my personal favorites!
JOhn7th October 2007wow that was an awesome solo i really liked it and the camera angles really helped.

lefty017th October 2007"One of his most used techniques is to play repetitive cross string licks over minor pentatonic scales and also double string licks. We will work on these techniques in this lesson."

- Rolls8th October 2007
Hey, I was wondering if I could get some advice. I would like to practice video 3 with a metronome but I can't figure out how to do it. I watched the metronome lesson and kind of get it but say I start at 80bpm...how many notes from video 3 do I play per beat?
Muris Varajic7th October 2007Brilliant Gabe!
True Zakk's pentatonic licks inside,well done.
- white eagle8th October 2007
Just a dumb question gabe what is the "L" mean in your tabs
Gabriel Leopardi8th October 2007Hey!! Thanks for the comments! I'm glad that you liked it!
Rolls: You'll find the note values in the guitar pro file. Check it and tell me if you have any question.
White eagle: It means tied note.
Lefty: You can find double string bend licks in video 2 and 4 and two-note-per-string repetitive licks in video 3.
Cherio8th October 2007very nice lesson Gabriel!
gonna start it tomorrow when my guitar is ready
coffeeman9th October 2007I love that Dave Navarro sound, and of course the Zakk Wylde solo is awesome.....Gracias Gabriel.
- coffeeman9th October 2007
I forgot to ask you something, in video #3 do you use alternate picking or economy picking?
Gracias 
Nick3259th October 2007nice

Gilmore9th October 2007Hi....one of my favourite lessons.
Is it possible that 2 notes are missing in the tablature near the end for video #3? I follow every note, and always get a little behind in the end.
NeedleAndShred11th October 2007great lesson! thanks a lot!
- Rolls13th October 2007
Hey Gilmore, you are right, the tab at the end of video #3 is missing a few notes. The end of the first bar should have the following after the last note (13) :
10-13-10---------|
-----------13-10-|
-----------------|
-----------------|
-----------------|
-----------------|
Hope that lines up after I post this. Anyways, the second bar has all of the correct notes. I was practicing it and finding the same thing as you he he. But if you check the Guitar Pro tab it is perfect - Fanman15th October 2007
wicked lesson bud. My friends are so depressed..
- Fanman18th October 2007
on the fast lick alternating between frets 13 and 10, youre not barring your first finger on the strign 1,2 fret 10 are you? looks like youre moving it back and forth, am i correct?
- Nobody10th November 2007
Fenman, he's not barring. You can see it in the video. It's not possible to play it with a barre. I just tried it with my Noise Suppressor set at max and it still sounds awful :]
In this line of thoughts it's very important to mute the strings with your right hand(in this lesson in the beginning of part4). Kris explains it great in one free lesson in the ultimate-guitar.com ;]
Hope i helped.

sillyman7th December 2007great lesson gabriel ,great melody
one thing though
is there any particular reason you use a 7 note ber beat pattern as it says in the guitar pro file. is it just to give a different rythm or just to fit into one bar?
radcliffe6th January 2008I had a question on the flurry of notes starting on the 11th measure. I can get up to the example speed, but I'm having trouble getting up to tempo of the backing track. Is there a way to increase speed to break the barrier? A metronome maybe?
- Gabriel Leopardi7th January 2008
yes, using the metronome is a great choice to increase your speed.
Nighthawk112th January 2008Holy cow, I see due to the guitar pro file you play 7 notes per beat120pm in this one section !That is damn fast! This Zakk Wylde technique sounds awesome!Hope I will ever reach it to play that fast. I just practising to play TRIPLETS with 120pm with the metronome !This lesson is a good ambition to keep practising thanks !
Fastfinger4th February 2008Great lesson!
Thanks!
Danilo Capezzuto25th February 2008smart lesson Gabriel.
Carlos Carrillo9th March 2008great job Gaby!!!!
fantastic lesson!!!!!!
thanks- Johnny Göthe Norlin10th March 2008
Really nice. I just subscribed and found this right away. One Hot Minute gets a lot of slack, but there's no denying Dave Navarro has a great sound. And Zakk's one of my favourites. Great guitarists both, and a superb lesson! Can't do it 1:1 yet though. Good thing Guitar Pro can slows things down for ye. Cheers.
Lian Gerbino30th April 2008awesome man! as always
kaznie_NL3rd May 2008amazing...you just sing and then play it on guitar. I can do singing improvisation aswell, but transfering it to guitar is prety hard
Very very cool sound!
Alejandro Pinero18th June 2008This solo is fantastic!!
I like it!!
Groso Gaby!!
Alexiaden9315th May 2009Spot on ! Amazing playing, Gabriel, and although I am impressed, I would be lying if I said I was surprised !

Hello GMC! This lesson is a rock solo that contains licks and melodies in the style of Zakk Wylde and RHCP One Hot Minute era. The backing track used is one that I recorded for one of Luciana's singing lessons. I was trying to do some singing improvisations and I created the first melody. Then I played it in guitars and I really liked followed by a rock improvisation in Minor Pentatonic in the style of Zakk Wylde.
I often compose my solos in this way. I find them more melodic and amazing to hear. For those that don’t know Zakk Wylde, he is a rock guitar player that plays in Ozzy’s band and in his own band called Black Label Society. One of his most used techniques is to play repetitive cross string licks over minor pentatonic scales and also double string licks. We will work on these techniques in this lesson.
The backing track is in D minor and has been recorded with an acoustic guitar using dropped D tuning.
Tempo: 100 bpm.
Bye.-
Gabriel.-
