I FINALLY LEARNT HOW TO PLAY CHERUB ROCK!!!!!



no idea how to make this properly work

I never cared that much for guitar solos even though I've listened to heavy metal all my life.

Heavy metal rhythm guitars are very important though. And heavy metal is important.

Of course. I used to buy his albums. Still love Trilogy. But I like it most for the overall style of metal and good songs, not the solos in particular.

R u an Yngwie lover?

Yngwie isn't as good as some think, when you really break down his music.

Its fast - I'll give him that. But it really doesn't have a lot of feeling to it.

Solos aren't entirely about speed, but the depth of the melody you bring from what your playing. I think that Kirk Hammret's solos from early Metallica really encapsulate that in songs like Fade to Black or One. His lead melodies make the songs what they are and really add to it. That is how a solo is supposed to be.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Haha and then he started sucking hard right after that.

Malmsteen is one of my top 5 guitarists. Not because of his music, but because of its skills. I don't like much what he does on his electric Stratocaster, but the classical guitar solos he does for about 7 minutes in every concert, usually on Ovation Applause guitars, are just breath taking.

Those 7 minutes are pure awesomeness, worth of any money, and its a shame he doesn't play more acoustic solos.

 

What usually people hate about him is his useless shredding that sometimes gets horrible in the middle of a concert.

 

Listen to this and tell if you wouldn't go crazy listen to that and asking yourself how is this extreme shreding even possible on nylon strings:
