  • Hello GMC'ers! I wrote this tune in the spirit of a great classic rock bands such as Deep Purple, Rainbow, and AC/DC.

    It starts with a hammondish riff which reminds me of Jon Lord's organ style. I then play a solo - full of vibrato, double stops, and bends. I mostly used the A pentatonic minor scale, yet in the middle and at the end of the solo I used the major 3rd. I think it makes the melody more interesting.

    Time signature:
    4/4

    Techniques:
    * Bending
    * Vibrato
    * Double stops

    Scales:
    A Minor Pentatonic

    Equipment:
    Guitar Rig 4

    If you have any questions:

    * General Forum

    Enjoy / Piotr
