concrete jungle guitar solo explanation

this is how i play it... pretty similar to the original played by wayne perkins.

*By the way I said that the notes are coming from E Dorian, which is true, but i think a more accurate way to describe it would be the E natural minor scale because the flat 6 note (C) shows up at least once while the natural 6 (C sharp) doesnt appear as far as i remember. The majority of the notes reside in E minor pentatonic anyway, so it should be familiar territory.

I realize it's not the greatest lesson, i didnt have anything in front of me so I just had to think some of it out as i went. I think that it will help you figure out some parts that you are stuck on. You can watch me play it on my other video and then compare it to this explanation.

Thank you for this explanation, I might now finally get to play my favorite guitar solo ever. I just wish you slowed down a bit more and closed up to your fretboard even further. See, I'm just a mediocre among the beginners.

Also, is it safe to say that your strings might be softer than mine? Or is it just that you're used to those sort of finger techniques? cause with the sore fingers I've got from yesterday's practice, the hammer-on and -off notes on the 12th fret are next to impossible.

@DrsJacksonn cool im glad it helped you. sorry if it wasnt quite detailed enough but im sure you will get it after a bit. My strings are 9's so they are definitely small, but not any "softer" than any other electric strings. if you are talking about your finger tips just play everyday for a while and they won't hurt. if you are talking about the muscles in your hand it's kind of the same just work at it through the pain within reason and your muscles will develop and get stronger. cheers.

@MrBangor oh this would be really hard to play properly on an acoustic... you cant really bend the strings a whole tone on acoustic guitar and there are quite a few bends in this. get yourself a used electric and small amp (you can easily do that for around $100) and you wont be sorry you did... so much easier to play for something like this.

Crap son, this video taught my one of the greatest and my personally favorite guitar solo. How can not everyone want to learn this?

[DrsJacksonn]

@MrBangor Well I think I'm actually doing pretty decently when taking all the impairments of my guitar into account (like the hard-to-reach high pitch frets down there, since guitar's body is actually blocking the way of my hand), so it's a relief to hear it'll even be easier on an electric one. Also, at this very moment I've almost learned the entire thing by heart (just need to check out that last 'dorian' bit a bit more). So thanks in advance, I'm forever in your debt.

[DrsJacksonn]

@MrBangor A'ight, I get it. Mind I'm just practising this on an acoustic guitar (in case I'll ever get my hands on an electric one) and my strings are 11' or 12' I believe. Anyway, I'm just trying to play the same notes you do, but on different strings to make it a bit more do-able. I'm currently at about 4:00, once I'm through with this piece I guess I'll have the hardest part behind me. Thanks again.
