My name is mike i teach guitar here on youtube, i spend my free time talking to guitarists like yourself helping you out or giving you any advice you may need as once a beginner myself i understand the struggles we face.
I'd say it's a jackson but that's cause I'm a beginner and am planning to buy one for my first guitar lol xD *slaps self back in shape*. Damn sweet to the author! 5 stars mate.
For those who asked, I don't believe that's a Floyd on that Strat...I'm pretty sure it's one of the mid-80's MIJ Contemporary Strats with the Fender System 1 tremolo. Used they run right around $500 (US) or so in decent shape. -Very- nice guitars.
To the OP, nice job on the solo and thank you for sharing!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
that was kind of stupid learn to play it regular then think about posting it and when you play high notes don't put your shoulders up like that you look homo
Its in C Minor (pentatonic) or Eb Major (diatonic). The Aeolian diatonic mode is always played 1.5 steps above the first form of the Minor pentatonic in which the song is in. (this case Cm). Or so I believe.
As for knowing how to find what key a song is in. what I do is just play the first form of the Minor pentatonic scale at random places on the neck until I find one that sounds right. But I know there's a more convenient and technical way of doing it but I don't know how.
Just fuckin go to ultimate guitar or 911tabs if you need the tabs, is it that hard? i hate that people on youtube always keep asking for tabs, why dont you just fuckin search the internet?
Why would you risk breaking the neck of your guitar to do a slight dive which you can do with the tremolo bar, or better yet you can put your hand underneath your tremolo system and dive it down...
ok good, I would never risk it, unless you have a super strong neck, I think Les Pauls do, but you did a nice job anyway, did you post a video of playing it for real?
Look to my channel 'sosonguitar', there a two real versions. One version with the risk of breaking the neck, the other version with a tremolo - which you should prefer.
i dont think that its a squire... typically i havnt seen very many squires with the maple fret board or a triple ply pick guard or the mini h on the bridge pick up... also the squires tend to have a larger headstock...thats a straight up fender through and through
if you are interested in finding the year you can go onto the fender web site or just google fender guitar dating to find it... id guess thats it might be a mid 80's but i would double check to be sure
"Thanks Sosonguitar"...... you "sure" helped me on this "Lead-Solo" "cheer's so much"... I will get so much pleasure playing "this solo" from now on "man"... Tally'Ho'..Tea'n'Muffin's.. plugging in and turning me amp up.. :)
Wow, this is exactly what i was looking for.. I wouldn't have expected the solo, *(perfectly played, btw) to be out here on Youtube. I'm playing the solo, accompanying an orchestra in the song, so if i can get a video, you will definately be seeing it. Thanks so much.
i got a fender esquire. its nearly as good as a strat. im only 12 years and can play as a pro says my dad. (he's played in 40 years and is as a personal guitar teacher) :)
skillz playing that m8! i still can't pick it up off this tho, i noe im stupid. could you PPPPPPPPLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEE give me the link to where you got that tab? tytytytyty
