John’s Notes,
I composed 1 minute solo for a professional ‘Soul’
singer who attends guitar lessons. She wanted a solo
for a song she had written.
Her Band is playing a simple E Maj & F#m chord
progression throughout so I used the Pentatonic E
Maj scale positions 1 and 2.
Nothing too demanding here. Start off subdued to
phrase 5, building in intensity into the chorus. The
chorus ‘double stops’ (phrases 10 - 13) need to have
a percussive feel. Practice the bends making sure to
bend to the correct pitch as notated.
TAB & ‘one to one’ tuition available
to members:
Learning and playing the melody (instrumental)
of tunes is essential for practicing your scales &
soloing techniques, in an enjoyable, practical way!
