Rockwouldbe - Grunge Solo SI Lesson
Contents |
Introduction
Hey to you all my name is Eyal Ganel
I am 23 I live in Israel; I have been playing for 12 years. Usually I play grunge style and little bit Arabic influences.
Right now I am working on a project of grunge with people in my area.
I live in Sderot which is a city in Israel known for rockets and good music that is influenced by Arabic scales.
Nice to meet you guys. And I hope you are going to like my lessons.
Now just recently i joined a Band in the style of Grunge.
I had to pick up a different sound of what i am using usually.
I think this a very typical grunge solo. There is the Blues inside. We all know where this entire grunge comes from originally.
And there are the elements of Metal.

I like using a lot of stretches in my solos, at beginning and after shredding if I may call it a shredding (sorry all you crazy fast guitar players).
It helps to cool it down and especially to bring more sensitivity into your playing after you finish the "shredding" part . there people who understand me that usally it is hard for them to play clean notes straight after they finished shredding .
I hope you like my solo it is a song that we are working at the moment .
Rock on
Now let's work!

The First bend you see that is going until it is B it is the fifth of E so it is a nice way of entering a solo. Try to do the first Bend slow, it gives all the feeling.

A|------------------7--5---------5/7+--------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------7--5--5---------------------------------------------|
This is a very common thing in grunge, after the bending come heavey notes with an end to the phrase with harmonic, very nice indeed.
E penta
I played a note from the minor in the middle

If you realize the movement in the scale t is only going down after the first phrase . And again finishing
with the fifth of Am the rhythm (E)

Ok this part is the hardest one. Now this i would recommend on starting really slow. For example start with a bpm of 50 and do one on each click.
I don't know an easy way of study stuff like this except working with a metronome and slowly do faster and faster.
E penta
e|---------------------------------------------12--15--------------14-15-17--------|
B|-------------------------------------12--15---------------------------------------|
G|------------------------------12--14----------------------------------------------|
D|----------------------12--14-----------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------12--14------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------12--15------------------------------------------------------------------|
I would look on the last part as taken from minor, this way it is easy to understand what is going on

I don't know if you noticed but the chords for this solo are only Em and Am so once again i am giving the feel with the fifth of Em
