  • Hi Guys,

    Welcome to my lesson No. 76! If you want to keep your solo simple - maybe because the producer or your bandmates ask for it - then focus on the vocal line. This is always a good start to develop your solo here! If you first copy the vocal line and add some nice guitar phrasing your solo will become great!


    The structure of the Jam track:


    A Part 0:01-0:42
    | Bb | C | Bb | C |
    | Bb | C | Dm | % |

    | Bb | C | Bb | C |
    | Bb | C | Dm | % |


    B Part 0:43-1:10
    | EbMaj7 | Dm7 | Ab7M(#4) | Gsus4 G |
    | Cm7 Gm7 F| Eb | % |

    Have fun! ;-)
