hey kris excellent!!!! awesome solo with some great tapping. your guitar looks awesome 2. what kind is it???????
- thwack27th May 2007
hey kris. Great solo. I'm trying the tapping part as discussed in Video #3. On the note where you have to tap, should you pull the string back back towards you a bit so the note after will be heard clearly?
Kristofer Dahl18th April 2007beebo keeep practicing until you get it 10/10 times...!

dmitry: Experimenting with your thumb placement/left hand angle. Regarding the display name: It's a bug we have so I hope it will be fixed soon... 
Hawk8th April 2007Hail!
Kris, I have a little problem - hopefully, you can advise smth:)
When I play fast the 3rd part with some effects I produce lots of noise while ascending to the next string. It happens when I tear my left hand ring finger away from the string...
P.S. how can I change my name from my "e-mail" to my normal nick?- Jfryer3rd April 2007
Hey Kris,
Could you give me a little more advice on how to do artificial harmonics. It's really buggin me that I can't do them. - Kristofer Dahl12th March 2007
ibanez: You can do it!
- ibanez-freak8th March 2007
cool, im trying to learn that.
gona take me a while - Kristofer Dahl27th January 2007
On the thicker strings you have to hit harder - also the harmonic really doesn't come alive until you apply heavy vibrato to it.
So it might be that you are actually getting them right - you only need to apply more vibrato. 
Watertone27th January 2007how do you do the art. harmonics on the E string so good? I can do them easy on any string save the bottom two.

Great Solo! I'm going to start doing something different than just doing the solo. I am going to take the licks I like best from all of the solos and create my own.
RIP Dime25th November 2006I like the new layout!!

Hope you will have a blast with this solo... more is to come!

- Lesson
- My notes
An unaccompanied solo with two-handed tapping, speedpicking and legato - combined with artificial screams and bending...does it get any cooler...?
- I don't think so! This solo utilises many of the techniques discussed in gmc 101 lessons, as well as stringskipping - as a bonus.
I included a metronome click in the backing tracks - so you can practice correctly before you go unaccompanied.
The solo is all based around A minor pentatonic with occasional allusions to A aeolian.
To produce artficial harmonic screams - hold the pick's edge close to your thumb (like in the photo below)
Jump to start: Home or `s` , you can also click/tap the lesson part again (the numbers above player)
Go to next part: PageUP or End.
Volume: ArrowUp / ArrowDown keys
Go to any part: Number keys (combinations also possible)
Pause or play: `k` or space key
Fullscreen: `f`, esc to close
Increase / decrease speed : `+` or `-`
