Introduction
Chris Liepe introduces the lesson series. In this series you will learn an amazing melodic rock guitar solo one lick at a time.
Section 1 - Muted, Docile Lydian Hook
Chris teaches the first lick of his instrumental melodic rock guitar solo. This verse hook grounds the listener with repetition. The subdued nature of the line leaves plenty of lift for the coming transition to the chorus.
Section 2 - High and Low Lydian Sequence
Inch your volume knob up just a tad, but let the clean tone of the guitar shine through on these Satriani-inspired bursts of speed. Inserting runs like these into calmer sections of a passage help prepare the listener for energy that presents itself later in the song.
Section 3 - Chorus Hook and Alternating 6-b7
This is the second and primary hook of the song. It is joined with a repetitive call and answer lick.
Section 4 - Descending Arpeggio
This lick is the first of two speedy and articulate descending lines.
Section 5 - Behind the Beat Bending
Inspired by the simplicity found in the playing of classic artists like Chuck Berry, this bendy line illustrates the power of intentionally pulling back within the beat to make the notes stand for more than they are worth.
Section 6 - Moving to Dorian
Chris teaches a lick that temporarily modulations into Dorian. The lick is descending and is played with alternate picking.
