John Dowland famous Pavana. Part 3.

Acoustic piece from The Extremist album.

This is a solo in the style of George Lynch. It involves some wide stretches and tremolo action.

Traditional Folk hymn style

One of the greatest shredders in the 80's, but also a soulful and versatile musician. Let's explore some of his melodic playing in this lesson.

The Dorian and Mixolydian mode are very similar. Because they are so close, we will be able to use both of these modes in the same context in most cases. Blending these two scales will give the listener a sense of rhythm flow because of the chromatic notes found when mixing them together.

In this lesson we will study a Rock/Metal solo of my own. I recorded this solo for the song "Malezas" of my band called Cirse. This is a very dramatic solo in the style of Ozzy Osbourne's No More Tears lp solos (featuring Zakk Wylde).

Here is a melodic piece. It's important not to get carried away with technique and forget that music is about conveying a message. Melody is the main focus here. I tried to create a lead that would flow easily to the listener's ear. When trying to build something melodic, a good idea is to sing a melody on top of the chord progression you're working on and reproduce it on the instrument. That's usually how you can come up with new ideas.
