Mr. Fastfinger Band - Exploding Solo - Live at Magnusborg Studios

The very first live experiment of Mr.Fastfinger's Exploding band!!! The band + Mr.Fastfinger performed at Magnusborg Studios, Porvoo, Finland 15.4. for a small (but very special) audience of our friends.
It's always challenging to perform Exploding Solo (but fun). Not quite perfect yet, but it's getting better all the time. Maybe you noticed that the drums arrangement was kind of inspired by the intro of Iron Maiden's Aces High. BUUUM - PADA!
Mika Tyyskä - Guitar, Lasse Rantanen - Bass, Thomas, Kalle Katz - Keyboards, Törnroos - Drums. Asa Nyman - Live audio, Riku Makkonen - lights. Camera action by Raimo Uunila and Vesa Eloranta. Audio was captured by two microphones.

Hmm. perhaps I should compose new Exploding Solo 2.0 now.To show off where I've gone with the guitar playing :) This solo was composed ugh... 2004 if I remember correctly. After that I've come up with an idea or two to go more original ways...

Could you plllleeeeease post the Backing track and tabulature for this on the MFF site? I've been hoping you will for ages now just like you did with Wax on-Wax off :(

[MrFastfingerNet]

@DreamEclipse Tablature of this can be finally found from mrfastfinger(dot)net under lessons category.

Sounds awesome that bend was truly exotic. This made me realize I need to work on my sound more

[MrFastfingerNet]

Thanks! There's always work to do. Bends and vibratos may seem like basic techniques but I always have to work them. Both are very essential on shaping the tone.

Hey Mr Fastfinger ! I was asking myself : what modes are you using in this track ? Maybe Lydian ? It sounds very original.

[MrFastfingerNet]

@IbanezicepOpO uuh, sorry for the late answer. Yes, it's C Lydian mode basically. But the very beginning of the solo I kind of try to superimpose D mixolydian (the neughbor mode) but the backing bass note C twists everything to C lydian anyways :)

[melfice545]

Yep now I got to practice.

Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!  I would give anything to meet Mika, theres so much I want to ask him, or at the very least want him to tour the UK at some point!

[Sgtpeppers616]

if anyone interested in this type of stuff, theres a FANTASTIC guitarist everyone should check out (even you Mr fastfinger if you havent already). his name is Daniele gottardo. Mr fastfinger and Daniele are my favorite soulful yet speedy guitar players. they need to jam.
