Guitar Soloing Techniques CD-ROM by Manic Wave Design.
Features eight solos in varying styles:
- Blues solo #1 - a beginner solo in the style of
B.B. King and Eric Clapton, with an intro reminiscent of a technique
used by Robert Johnson.
- Blues solo #2 - an intermediate solo, in the style
of Stevie Ray Vaughn.
- Funk solo - an intermediate/difficult solo, with
a jazz/blues feel. Incorporates a SRV/EC sound with some Mike Stern
influenced jazz passages.
- Funk/Blues solo - an intermediate/difficult solo
which consists of two short solos, the first one possessing a modern
blues sound, while the second has a fusion feel, a cross between
a Jeff Beck and a Scott Henderson sound.
- Fusion solo - an intermediate solo, designed to
show the chord/scale relationship that a jazz/fusion soloist must
understand in order to "cut changes", or to accent chord
tones within their lines. This solo has elements of Robben Ford
and Scott Henderson.
- Hard Rock/Heavy Metal solo - a difficult solo with introduces
the "tapping" technique used by players such as Eddie
Van Halen, Steve Vai, and Joe Satriani. A "legato" technique
("hammer-ons" and "pull-offs") is also used,
as well as tapped harmonics.
- Punk solo - a difficult solo played over punk/ska rhythms made
popular by bands like Green Day, Sublime, and the Mighty Mighty
Bosstones. Begins with a jazz/blues feel, and ends with a full-blown
Steve Vai inspired climax. A sweep picking technique is introduced,
as well as some fast 16th note runs played with an alternate picking
pattern.
- Rockabilly solo - a difficult solo which invokes
the spirit of the late great Danny Gatton, a master of many styles
such as blues, jazz, country, and of course, rockabilly.
Included within the CD-ROM are videos which show the solos played
in full, as well as separate videos which focus on the more difficult
passages within each solo. The CD-ROM also has a "playalong"
feature, a rhythm track minus the solo for the guitarist to play
over.

Notes
The musical alphabet is made up of seven notes: A
B C D E F G and is said to be in the next higher "octave".All
of these notes are placed on the five lines and four spaces of the
staff.
Tablature
Tablature is considered an easier way for guitarists
to learn songs without having to know how read standard music notation.
Although it is considered a valuable teaching tool, it is not meant
to replace the art of reading and writing music. |
