Ayan

Hey Ayan, here’s a tutorial for the solo. We’re just going to play everything two frets higher than the video and slap a capo on your second fret to make up for the open strings. I know that first passage in the solo is scary, but it’s all hammer ons and pull offs! I would suggest even to start that we ignore the first hammer on for each string, so basically you would start on the second note (the highest one on each string) and just do the two pull offs. That’ll buy you time. Definitely bring this to Chris though and keep me posted on how you are doing!

Here’s a good full tutorial if you want to get ahead or have more detailed explanations.

Dylan

I forgot in the video that the section where you go from the 5th fret to the 3rd to the 2nd is in counts of seven. For now just learn those positions, we will learn in class how to move through them, or take it to Soren.
