 Before we get started I'd really appreciate if you enjoyed the video so far if you'd hit that like button it helps to motivate me and encourage me to get up and make these videos and keep doing them. So where do we begin? We start with KK and we'll go through the first movement that he plays nice and slowly here just so we can remind ourselves what's going on. So it's something like this. What is that? But at the beginning of the movement he's playing the same three notes but on three different strings three different frets it's five on the E 10 on the B and then 14 on the G and the 14 is actually that the point of the guitar where we're going to pivot all of the rest of the movement. So first thing we're doing is sliding up to that five then doing it again on the 10 with our next finger 10 on the B before finally 14 on the G so we've got one two three from that position on the 14 we're going to line up with the ring finger on the 17 and the middle finger on the 16 we're going to play this little movement using artificial on the 17 going 14 16 70 back down to 14 so it's 14 16 17 16 14 before finally repositioning 14 12 ring and index doing a pull off and then finally artificial 14 with vibrato at the end so that movement is just again from the beginning from the first three we've got there's much vibrato as you can at each point and then we're going to be artificial on the 17 okay again moving back to 14 with our index finger lining up 17 and 16 as before we're going to start with 17 and we are executing a series of quite speedy semi quavers okay but there's no weird pattern in this one unlike what Glenn and KK usually do where they insert interesting rhythmic patterns this is just a series of very very fast alternating picking semi quavers 17 14 then it's going to be 16 followed by 17 followed by 19 on this pattern as we can see here okay so that's 17 3 14 16 3 14 17 3 14 19 with the pinkie 3 14's and we just once you finish those four four sets of four we just do that exact pattern again so it's you just do the whole thing twice over now from that point you've just done an upstroke on the 14 you're going to gently touch 17 on the top string with your ring finger and it's very easy to make noise here so you're just going to gently palm mute that and then you're going to run up 14 15 17 on the A okay 17 14 15 17 before finally sliding 12 to 14 on the G and then the last note of the movement is the artificial okay so let's just go again from the semi quavers 17 twice over once more through the whole movement nice and slowly that's the end of KK's first movement uh Glenn now takes over okay let's just have a quick look at Glenn's part uh Glenn's first part here play very slowly just remind ourselves of what it looks like so typical Glenn we're going all over the neck in one movement um but this one isn't as um as gruelling as some of his other some of his other movements that do that so what we're doing is we're starting down here on 3002 on the A string and we can notice what he's doing is he's kind of mimicking KK's movement that he finished his his first part which was Glenn's doing it down here except he's being very cheeky and he's doing it faster he's cramming it's not just semi quavers he's actually cramming them in uh to a a faster tempo I don't think it's quite demi quavers it's not that fast but it's probably 20 30 faster than what KK's doing he's by the time he finishes he's out of time but what he does is he slides up to D on the seven of the D uh and waits for the music to patch up so you'll you will have heard that in the solo so while we're practicing all we're doing is just getting used to that nice up down motion down up should I say in this case down on the three it's three oh oh two oh oh three oh oh two oh oh so when you start to practice and start to build it up to a faster speed the idea is to basically tremolo this movement and then whenever you finish that go up to that slide up to that seven on the D to allow that to allow the beat to catch up we then have uh we then lift essentially and we're up to 17 and 15 on the bottom string we then bending 15 up back up to 17 bending it on this and then it's which is 12 15 12 17 12 let's have another look so from that 13 we then slide that away from that 13 we're going to slide that away before coming back up to hammer a 12 15 on the E this next movement is kind of bluesy and slow and that took me quite a long time to decode what actually I think Glenn's doing which is coming sliding away that beat and then off the beat it's 12 15 12 again slide away take a break come back to 17 on the E and that's hammering on to 23 times so the six notes again just from the 13 sliding away okay once you've gone we're going to voice 222s on the bottom string 20 17 20 17 20 on the B and then that's 17 20 on the E 17 20 on the B 17 20 B before finally landing on 17 on the B so that's 222s let's have it again from that sliding part of the B so again we slide that away and then we allow ourselves to come back up to the same note again back to 17 on the B so it's and then it's another hammering on to the 20 and one two three five six and now this is the really funky part where he's like he hammers 20 to 22 on the B back down to 20 17 and then that is 20 on the G 19 on the G 17 on the G and what's really interesting about this movement for Glenn is that it's he doesn't resolve he doesn't go where the ear wants to go which is finally sorry there back to 14 on G he lets KK take take take over at that point so it's kind of like he's cascading down into the next movement rather than actually just resolving on a big note or a big bend or anything like that so let's just have another look at that part from one two three one two one two one two and then okay let's do Glenn Glenn's entire second movement again really really slowly so just you guys can hopefully get it all together in your head in terms of the rhythm so we have the crazy not quite demi-quavers thing at the beginning 17-50 hopefully that guy that is straightforward and you can see the notes and you can start to feel the rhythm of the sliding away the missed notes where he's just basically taking a break sliding the hand down and back up again and you'll start to get a feel for it once you know actually where to put your fingers okay so where are we up to we've done KK's first movement Glenn's first movement so after Glenn has finished his KK takes over on the top string index on the 12 and we're at 17-15 some people prefer to use their pinky here and then in combination of fingers for me my technique is such that I find myself wanting to use my ring finger on 17 15 on the middle finger and 12 on the index so this this movement goes like this that's the first part of it anyway let's have another look so we start on the 12 hammering 17 and 15 so pulling off 17 and 15 back to 12 so it's and then bending up to the 17 on the 15 plenty of time to shake it we then reset back in the same position and go 17 so that's just playing those three notes 17 15 12 twice over but with a d dittle d dittle we now bend 15 to 17 on the B which is what gives the movement so much color before voicing 12 again on the E so that's see what I'm doing bending 15 up to 17 and then voicing 12 on the bottom hopefully without making too much noise and then we replace that with 16 on the B with our ring finger 17 with our pinky back to 16 15 and then 13 on the B play it twice some another look okay so it's two thirteens and then 15 to 15 before finally reposition yourself with your first finger on 17 of the B of the E so it's slight reprieve from the usual chaos of what's going on let's go again from I don't want to get too far ahead let's let's go back to the beginning of KK's movement which is let's hear it again next part is which is 2019 and 17 on the top two strings on the bottom two strings voice 20 on the B and then bend it 20 on the B so pull off hopefully you can hear what that is so 17 20 19 17 20 on the B 17 again on the E bend that 20 on the B and then just repeat it but unfortunately at speed at the full 175 beats per minute it's blindingly fast and when I listen to the CD actually I'm almost wondering if not all three of those are actually there that probably are supposed to be I don't know for sure but so again just up to that let's get there from the beginning of KK's movement so we've got we then interrupt ourselves and we snap down to 3 2 0 on the A string for the next part of KK's second movement okay so I think probably better if we play this through really really slowly at the beginning just to get a sense again of what this part is we've got this lovely very very fast muddy part at the bottom of the neck rising all the way up to eventually ending in okay so let's begin we're in semi-quaverland here and it's 3 2 0 let's have a look you can hear I actually kind of forgot halfway through what I was doing but don't worry I'll tidy it up by the time we get to the to the section so 3 2 0 what is this pattern so we've got about diddle which is slowly down the voice we then move up to the G string we start leading off with the fifth fret on the G string pulling off so that's five four seven five on the D four on the G pause for a second and then go play the four again five seven five on the B seven on G hold that to the space of two notes so let's hear that again sounds a bit strange because we've just been doing this kind of semi-quaver land where everything's just really really fast and almost at the limit of what you can accomplish and I think this is why the run by the time we end up going by the time we do that it sounds so sweet because the run-up is actually peppered with these other interesting rhythmic pieces it's not just all straight it's so when you slow it down it actually sounds pleasing to the ear even when it's not at blinding speed and so we've done the first muddy part we've done the second part in the middle of the neck I'm going to go to the last part which we snap our hand to the 10 on the B with our index finger and we're going to be going for 13 to 12 pulling that off down to 10 we're then going to go 14 just pulling straight to the 10 hopefully artificially striking this dream as you do that if you can if you miss it it still sounds amazing anyway but then going to go 15 13 12 again before then 17 15 13 so there's one two three four now the next part is we play another set of four bars or set of four sequences with the same amount of spacing the same amount of time but we don't just play the we don't just keep doing that we don't just keep going dead it's KK so things are things are substantially different to that by the time we get to the end you'll notice that these first parts are actually semi-quavers but with a rest there's actually a rest in there so it's but it up but it up but it up but it up but they're not triplets it's not going dadada dadada dadada dadada dadada dadada dadada it's okay the the fifth movement is straight semi quaves with no rest which is dee dee dee dee dee dee dee dee that's on the sixes but that's 17 15 13 and then 16 on the G sixth movement is 15 13 16 14 on the G so the fifth is from the 17 have pulling off to 13 15, 15, 30, that's a 6th. The seventh is 17, 15, 30 as a triplet. Okay, so this is not a three semi-quavers with the rest. This is ba-da-da, followed by 14, 12 on the E, again a triplet. And then we finally get to get to the 15th. And you're not plucking the 15 cleanly, you're actually plucking the 14 and quickly snapping your finger down. A clever movement, like we're just moving up the scale in sets of three notes, but the color of the timing in it makes it sound just so, so nice, coupled with the earlier movement starting down here at the bottom of the neck. So let's have another quick look at this section before we then try and wrap the entire movement together. Again, we've got eight pieces here, let's hear them very, very slowly. One, two, three, four, six, seven. It's 14, 12, 14. And then this makes you feel like life is worth living. The guitar is worth playing. You know, there are, there's some things that just, you know, just really good. I'll be all right, great fun to play it. Yeah, awesome, awesome sequence. Let's have another quick look, second part of KK's second movement. And what happens in the, in the recording is that because that's the end of KK's movement, we're ready to begin the next part, which is actually both guitarists playing together. So I think in the video, I was pretending to be Glenn just so that I was, I was voicing that different voice. But both guitarists are playing, I've mapped out what I think is the main guitar or the melody tune of this next movement. And it actually comes over the top of KK's last note. So you're going on that, on that note, that's actually the same place as the next movement begins, which is so if you're playing it all at once, as you normally would be, allow yourself, let yourself play that 15. You probably want to just come in somewhere on that movement. So you're not going, you're probably just going like that. Okay, so let's now talk about this, I guess we'll call it the second Glenn section, even though it's a, it's performed by both. This one features this really lovely, slow piece at the top of the guitar here before the second, we learn that piece in one part and then the second part of this movement goes like this. Finally the third part of the movement. Okay, so that's all we're going to learn for this, for this section. So there are three parts to, to this, to this fourth part of the, of the solo. Right, so the nice slow part at the top, what is that? Sliding our ring finger up to the nine on the D, voicing seven on the A, ten, seven on the D, hammer up to the nine, voice the seven and hammer back up to the nine on the D, seven, ten on the A, nine, ten, seven on the D, ten on the A, hold there, seven, slide back up to ten, back to nine, hammering the ten, so you can see what I'm doing there is seven, up to ten, nine hammer to ten, back off again and then I'm voicing 12, we might be on the top string, ten on the top string, eight, nine, ten, seven, slide the seven away. Now you can tell that that note is the same as that note. 12 with my pinky on the top string, you might say, why am I doing that when I was happily down here on the seven. It's just to do with the fingering in the way that so if you're going to do it, if you're going to do it differently you could go, you could use these two fingers, your pinky and your ring finger. I probably want Glamour KK really doing it. Those fingers are a bit weaker for me than my index and my pinky together as opposed to these two fingers together, I prefer these two, so I'm just repositioning myself during the like that, so I'm kind of rapping over that 12 and then just moving down the top string for the rest of the note. So let's just do that again very very slowly and that's the end of the first part of this section. The second part of the section is this delicious part. We do that by lining up nine through 12 on the A string and we're going to start by pulling off 10 to 9 on the A. We're not going to go 12, 10, 12 on the A string. We're going to go 9, 10, 12 on the A, 9, 10, 12 on the D, 9, 11, 12 on the G, 10, 12 on the B. Certainly these first few are played the way I think I'm doing it which is pulling off the 10, 9 and then palm using plucking the 12, 10, 12 and then we've got 9, 10, 12, 9, 10, 12 on the D, 9, 11, 12 on the G, 10, 12 on the B. The rest of it is which is triplets rather than semis so it's which we come down to we've gone before we do that we'll just just do this first section again on the semis. 10, 9 and just watch the fingering so thinking. So all my fingers from 9 to 12 are just playing their fret whatever fret comes up if that's the finger that's the one that plays it. 9, 10, 12, 9, 11, 12 but now I switch this and go index finger on the 10 on the B. Ring finger on 12. We're going to use our third finger to hit the 12 on the G. 13 on the G, 11 on the B, 12 on the B, 13, 11 on the bottom string. So we're going to use this we kind of harmonic pattern at the end which is 12 on the G, 13, 11, 12, 13 on the B, 11, 12 on the E. Woo! From the top I'm probably, I hope I've confused everybody with this. Each finger plays its own fret. We're starting 10 pulling off to 9 on the A, 12, 10, 12 on the E, 9, 10, 12, 9, 10, 12, 9, 11, 12 on the G and then index finger 10, 12 on the B before using your third finger to come over the top G, 12, 13, 11, 12, 13, D, 11, 12, E, whole thing very very slowly. So from the time we're hitting the G on the 12 on the G with our third finger we're beginning the triplets. It's probably my favorite part of the solo so it's worth just doing it one more time very very slowly. Fast forward this part if you've got it and you don't hear it again. And this reminds me a little bit of actually KK's part in Hot For Love when we were breaking down Hot For Love about a year or so ago and it was a similar sort of thing. It was like it was moving his way up. Anyway, anyway there's homages all the way through, actually I think this whole album Angel of Retribution, there's homages all the way through the guitar solos all the way through the lyrics to the previous material. It's a really really cool album. Once we get to, you know you can sing the rest of it. What is that? So from the 12, don't lift off, come down and hit the 8 on the E. So voice it, shape it, it's really important. We're then sliding up, pick whatever thing you want. It can be your index, probably either your index or your middle finger. Never ever lift off, okay. So what we're going to do is pause the video because a four-year-old is about to come in and bother me. We're back. So holding the string down at all times, slide all the way up to 22, back to 15, 20, 15, 19, before finally landing on 17. So it's 8, 22, 15, 20, 15, 19, 15, 17. Okay, and that's that entire section. Let's have another quick look at the entire thing. Now we now have what I think is KK coming in over the top with just a nice little, I don't actually know it's both of them. Both guitarists are still working together on this. Very very slow, almost chill out part at the end of all of that craziness, all of that magnificence. We're sliding from the 9 on the G. So that's 9 down to 7. Down to 5. And now voice pulling off 5, 4, down to 7 on the D. 4 on the G. So that's 4, 7, 5. And then same pattern, 5, 4 on the D, pulling 7, 8, 4, 7, 5. Slide back up to 7. Then we're ready for the very last movement, which is Glenn coming over the top at the very end with four bars of his patented sweeping at the end to close things out. So what is that? So we've gone, Glenn comes in and goes, So there's four. The first two are the same as each other. Start with your ring finger on the 14 on the D string. And we're going to go up through the 12s on our index finger for the rest of the strings. Hammering to the 15 with your pinky. And off again. And then come back down again. So let's do two of those. We then move to the, put your ring finger now on the 12 on the D. Middle finger goes 13 on the G. And index covers 10 on the bottom two strings. And we do the same pattern. And we're hammering 14 with the pinky this time. Back down again. There's only one of those. We then go hammer 9 to 12. The four going back up to, that's 11 on the G and then the two 10s. And then finally ending the entire solo, bending 11 to 12 on the B. Let's have a listen to the whole thing from the 14, from the first sweep sweep movement. Start when you play it, as you can see. From the 14. And I think I didn't even hammer on that time. I think it's, I think it is though. I think he hammers from 9 to 12 first. Before finally, and you know that it's we. Not going to try and simulate Rob Halford. Right. So I hope that was straight, I hope that was well explained at the very end. I feel like I'm, I'm flagging and I'm not explaining things as clearly as I should. 14, 12, 12, 12, hammering 15, 12. Then 12 on the D lining up rim finger. 13 on the G, two 10s. 14 before hammering up to 9 from the, from 9 to 12 on the D. And then that same pattern again. 13, 10, 10. Sorry, 11, 10, 10. Then being 11 to 12 on the B to finish. We got there. That's really hard work. It really takes it out of you. And it's really embarrassing too then trying to play it slowly and realizing that you don't actually know. You haven't actually really, really practiced the order of the notes at a slower speed and you're not making mistakes. So anyway, hopefully if you guys forgive me those on the way, I really hope I've maybe inspired you guys to pick this one up and give it a try. As always, I appreciate any and all feedback, comments. I will absolutely respond to any questions if anyone has any. And I'm willing to keep doing these. They do take a very long time to do. And so I appreciate your patience. I don't know when the next one will be. But look, thanks again for watching if you've made it this far and I will see you again soon. Cheers.
