Better late than never, right?
It’s starting to become apparent that I can’t count on a free block of time at the studio anymore, but that’s a good thing!
I’m still going to try my best to bring you all another solo tutorial each week. Today’s was recorded in my room. The sound is a bit better, but the lighting is atrocious.
Anyway, 18 & Life: I think it’s safe to call this tune a classic, and this solo is great. Scotti Hill says he wanted to write a solo you could whistle, and I think he delivered. The phrases flow across the bars and changes wonderfully, and it’s super catchy.
Careful with that last lick. It’s not too hard, but don’t get lazy and phone it in.
