Lead Guitar Tactics

Yesterday I gave you the transcription to the first chorus of the solo I played on the Freebird video.  Today I have broken it down and added a short analysis.

I hope you find it interesting and helpful. Remember, the point is not that you play my solo, or solo like me using the same fingerings, etc.

The point is to understand the concepts of building a vocabulary, having a library of licks and ideas to draw from to create your own solos. And then being able to take those ideas and create variations on them.

When you can do this you will never run out of things to play. Enjoy this lesson and please leave any comments or questions below.

Best Wishes,

Freebird Solo Analysis Part One

Popularity: 97% [?]

Hello fellow guitarists. I have had quite a few requests for the tablature for the solo in the Freebird video. I have started the transcribing process and have part one ready to go.

I haven’t had a chance to move it up an octave yet but it’s coming in the near future, with comments. I just wanted to go ahead get this up so you could start to play around with it.

The tab is written using the G minor pentatonic scale at the 3rd fret. The video was done using the G minor pentatonic scale at the 15th fret. All you have to do is take the licks from the tab at the 3rd fret and play them at the 15th fret.

In fact, this is a great device to use in your soloing. Play a lick a restate it an octave higher. Play around with this idea and see what you think.

If you have any questions or comments, let me know. Stay tuned for the next installment.

Best Wishes,

Bob
