How to play a Melodic Rock Solo(V.Grieco)

[jmatt6]

I know music has no color but coming from a black guy, you get much respect from me. I love melodic solo's. Keep it coming.

[nopatone]

@jmatt6

'kay, but he's not black =)

[CramProud]

so. fucking. beautiful. i dont see why soo many people have a problem with this saying "how to play" theres soo much you can pick up from his playing more than you would get from reading tabs. god i still love this years after hearing it for the first time

[andrx04]

tabs would be great )))))))))))))))

[mgrcar1]

dude...joe satriani would like you

[awrgth]

so f.cking awsome :D:D::D:D

[MatteRyd]

You're relly good!

shouldn't have named it "how to play" tho :S

[markos96netfight]

please tell where can i get the backing track!!!

[SomeKrazyDude]

where can I get the background music?

[DnTBooTMe]

thanks for the lesson i loved the solo!! ima try to inprove my minors!! n majors!! you picked them so CLEAN!!! loved it THUMBSUP

[heduda2]

how!? please please please make a video how u do this just great i love it!please!!!!!!!!

[xXxDazedBastardxXx]

@heduda2 it comes from the soul dude :) ..in my case - from my penis but ..

[braydenflog]

So how do you play it?!?!?!

[raymundo2245]

wow, how is it possible to improv like that? i really want to know!!

[0614THEHULK]

@raymundo2245

Learn all the major and minor pinta. scales. Learn as many tricks,riffs,licks,and common moves as you can. Then you use the notes within both the major and minor using many of the tricks you know to build you up to the climax during the solo of a song. In the corresponding key of course. In the key of E maj. use The C#m scale droping the C# notes of the scale (When you remember),and playing Em scales.Always alternate,and remember this is just using the pentatonic scales.Good luck

[WePkedJad]

This is just too good. most pro bands would turn you down do to your profetionalism

[Clarksonhill]

[MightyBonesTriengen]

Great, simply great! *bows*

[scottyrevolution]

[mgfdh]

Great tone, a nice lesson playing with soul. Thanks for that

[JoeB183]

Amazing!!!!

[scornflexx]

Awesome solo man, sounds very Buckethead-ish

[Deltron7]

that would b funny if a string broke and hit the camera

[compares90]

good!where do came from this bacing track?

[Manostradorscator]

Great style man... but its more similar to blues :)

[Ande5865]

I love your style :D

[celtik74]

what is dat scale?

[storminthedistance]

dat???

[celtik74]

yeah "dat" as in "that"...

[NemesisJWD]

amazin', guy!

lov' it..

[ChaiVat]

Lamest camera angle possible, if your actually "showing people how to play a melodic rock solo". I think you were just impressed with the fact that you were able to place the camera there...lol

[raymundo2245]

dude...... wtf

[juchel]

it's got a strat sound when he does blues licks

[8jwong14]

He probably mounted the camera up there using something like the Gorilla Pod.

[EdwinTorresC]

i bet he used some tape or krazy glue

[8jwong14]

@EdwinTorresC Duct tape? =)

[ciccia1136]

GREAT! *.* nothing else to say...

[Denverboy01]

That guitar has great sound.

[duddley108]

jizz in muh pants

[Ventalei]

If you turn up the gain and distortion, move that down a couple frets you sound alot like slash! LOL. Where did the how to part of the video go?

[girlnamedterry]

You Play Great... I bet you'll make a great band someday...

[thedyingone666]

nice ö

[kelmaur]

nice legato

[mayi2839]

[silentcrowrock]

[Nick13AOR]

Simply stunning!

[LucianBelmau]

*-* Questo è il migliore che ho sentito dei tuoi.

[someonebigman]

AWESOME :p

[ThaBoogieman81]

Absolutely Fantastic!!!

[hogoamin]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa man

awesome

can have the backing track ?

[pesciolinoad]

questa volta non si può non lasciare un complmento!!!

davvero bravo in tutti i fraseggi e per l'intero solo.

Complimenti sul serio....

[Matheus222]

After listening one more time, you've been playing in 4 minutes right now, and the video isn't over yet and I'M STILL NOT BORED of the solo! I really enjoy it! I wonder if you could explain a bit more, of how you make a solo like this, how do you think when you improvise?

[Gorre92]

a tip is to learn any scale from the top and down on the guitar and try out different nasty bendings. then you can learn some different licks in that scale

[Matheus222]

I already know scales + scale positions. That doesn't make me Slash.

[leomanl]

haha you are right but it is important to think of phrasing and how to get from one scale position to another until you no where everything on the neck is so you can do jst what you here in youre head

[Matheus222]

This made me think of how to play something low (with D A E strings) and then later add something on the g string on 12 freth+

Great playing though! Wish I was that good too.

[RioUchiha]

simple music theory.

[Matheus222]

Scales aren't that simple.. Special not modes! I've learned scales, but not modes.

[vicminister]

but there aren't too much about modes in here, what you find in here are pentatonics, that's why it sounds bluesy, the special thing is that Vicenzo gave it another personality besides the known minor pentatonic.

[mannaggiatutti]

dove hai preso quella base? mi serve.

[iCerial]

i need that backing track

[damu4291]

sweet 5/5

[bf2n00b]

[z603dauren]

[youwusel]

[Rodderno9]

forgot to mention its very nice until you start the fast shredding which in my opinion kind of ruins something there but its nice overall thats for sure.

[Rodderno9]

lol give me all the negatives you like, its an opinion so if you dont like it, tough.

[Kastralis]

OMG

[Rodderno9]

very nice and melodic and with a lot of feeling. Nicely done 5/5 for execution.

[shanex1234]

[shreddlearner]

i thought i got them,because from"Zack Wylde"

the " farewell ballade " sounds like that and i thought that was the same song. but i heared it again and its not the same. sorry

You must think iam stupid

[Vincenzogrieco]

No you are a nice friend

[shreddlearner]

haha, yes after that all i think iam ;)

no, i really try to find them out, but its difficult cause i cant see the hole neck.

i try to hear it out but that is not so easy.

And my guitar sucks, so its even more dificult.

Did you already post a vid with the tabs?

That would be a nice step of you.

[shreddlearner]

When do you post your new VIDEO man?!!!!!

i wanna see your fingers fly over the neck

and how you play. something like that solo please

your best friend from germany. cu

[shreddlearner]

[Vincenzogrieco]

have you got the tabs?!?!?!?!?can you send me pleaze!?!?

VInce

[shreddlearner]

Methuzlah, buy a POD buy line 6

only one pedal for guitar playing seems prety un proffessional

[methuzlah]

Nice groove, can someone help me adjust my settings on my ME-50 for a decent metal tone..Thanx

[shreddlearner]

ey dude, did you read my minds?

That is the awesomest solo i ever heared.

That really has touched my soul. Man when i drink some beer and had some marry jane^^ that kicks me out of my seat man and i can start to cry, nice man soo nice dude !!!!!!

[PopLockIn29]

Whoa... this is like a very good Anime Theme... You Rock.

[quazzar42]

Gioco impressionante della chitarra. Ammiro il vostro lavoro!!

[bartsch1986]

Can you show us how you play it from the front? So we can see better how to play that too.

Cause i htink here are a lot of people who wants to learn that song^^

THX :) and respect, did you create that song by yourself?

[bartsch1986]

when i post my video i will tell you. Maybe you like my way to play too.

My style is as smooth like yours but i still cant play that fast as you^^

And my guitar sucks, cause the pickups are so bad, they dont register when i tap a string with a finger only with a pleck

[bartsch1986]

I only meaned that i have a Tenson.

Your guitar is not see able.

And I like the way you play, its great

[Vincenzogrieco]

i'm sorry..i little english i didn't understand...this guitar is a good guitar..if you want you can buy with 600 $.

Vince

[ta717]

somebody can tell me the name of this song !

this sounds great ! i love it !

this style of music specially the guitars

if somebody knows about music like this please let me know ! oh right !

[bartsch1986]

i think you can replay that on a regular P.O.D 2.0 line6 effect processor.

But take a better guitar than a Tenson^^

[bartsch1986]

when i first saw this video there where only 200 views on it, amazing cause its grat. why are people saying santana is a good guitar player, that is a fucking joke

[Vincenzogrieco]

i don't know what you say..i have little english but i think that you doesn't like my work.This is a Yamaha Pacifica Custom and i use POD xt.If you want search another my video and try to keep some ideas for your playing..;)

VInce

[le0r]

[DiabolicalSchemes]

[hansnfranz54]

Wow - very nice Vince!! To me it's like putting some Jeff Beck, David Gilmour, and Joe Satriani in a blender and coming up with something that invokes memories of each of them. Loved it! Also watching the fluidity of your fingers.... I better increase my practicing time. Very inspirational.

[GianRhoads]

So good

Beatyfull Solo!

[drmsgtrplayer]

I think he does that, he begins softly and ends up faster.

I can see this is an experienced player playing, I could be a fan of him. well done
