"Perfect the Shred"


Solos With Chords (for one guitarist bands)

by Ben Collins
 


Today we'll look at solos designed for just a one guitarist band, and
ways to not lose the power or thrust of the song when going into it.
We'll will look at a technique which I use quite a lot, and is also fun to use.
there are three methods which can be used to sustain a song during a solo,
  1. Finger tapping (which is explained in another lesson)
  2. Have another guitarist
  3. Put chords in your solo.

    here is a lick from one of my own songs which uses method 3
