Advanced Rock Guitar: Catchy Pop Rock solo

Hi Guys,

Welcome to my lesson No. 96
ADVANCED ROCK GUITAR

A new series called ADVANCED ROCK GUITAR that is made specially for advanced players who already have some good knowledge about harmony, different phrasing techniques, timing etc.
From time to time I'll will publish a new lesson of this series where you'll find some useful informations, riffs, rhythms and simple solo techniques so that you can immediately start to rock your guitar! :-D

ADVANCED ROCK GUITAR("Catchy melodic Pop Rock solo")

In this cool lesson we gonna learn to play a catchy (and short) solo on a pop rock solo. But also the rhythm part should have some interesting parts that immediately catch the listeners! Sometime not an easy job, specially if you're hired for a studio session.

The main rhythm guitars in the main video are separated like this:

Intro
Syncopated LEFT Rhythm Guitar with 1/4 delay
Syncopated LEFT/RIGHT (double tracked) Rhythm Guitar with 1/4 delay
