[@lenardmgtr]

The "no regard for key" is actually quite interesting. Provided that it's used tastefully and within right musical context, it could be really nice as atonal or polytonal music.

[@tobins6800]

Agreed. and the same with single string solos. There is something to be said about simplicity, especially if it is in an uber technical wrapper. Little things can help separate and help highlight other more interesting parts of the song. The constant and incessant finger tapping in the song king dingaling from av7x is a good example, ruined what could have been a solid rock song.

[@saidoterodiseno]

I've noticed Kirk Hammett doing that sometimes, and it kinda "works". EXAMPLE: Second solo prior to the last verse of "the shortest straw" from ...and justice for all (the little part before the epic "volume swell", LOL). The riff is in E minor and the solo is in G pentatonic minor.

[@tobins6800]

[@adelineinactivity]

Why is it 23/32

[@cadenkratsch3057]

@@adelineinactivity If you strip the recording down and play it with a metronome it divides into a shorter bar, either perceived as 21/32 or 23/32. It doesn't split neatly into a 3/4 bar, but of course Metallica never meant it to be as specific as 32nd notes, they just felt it out.

I always tune by ear because after using a tuner it is never in tune. Perhaps I use the tuner wrong but I can get really great tuning by using just perfect fourths. Guitar is so imperfect instrument in regards of tuning anyways.

[@ToolReviewZone]

Haha, the pinch harmonics hit home. Great playing bro

[@epiczeven6378]

These is both *Hilarious and a great guitar lesson* xD

[@memebigboy1946]

[@mgg4142]

arte0021 the tone will get lost in the mix of instruments. Play with that live, no one will hear you.

Lost Answers lmao, I replied without looking at your comment fully.

​@@lostanswers122It was a poor demonstration of the "playing a scale up and down is not a solo", since it was more of a nice melodic idea than a thoughtless scalerun. Sure, the phrasing sounded like a beginner, but that same idea, given proper phrasing, could easily be the base for a nice lead or solo. There are many solos out there that are just uninspired scale wankery, but this particular example is not one of them. Also, "scale wankery" does not just refer to good old Yngwie at his most tasteless and uninspired doing endless Harmonic Minor runs, but also Rockers doing repetitive Pentatonic licks and random bends. Freebird solo and Arpeggios From Hell. My two go-to examples of pointless scale wankery. Different scales, same concept. That said, actual scaleruns do have their place aswell, as seen in a lot of Classical, and especially Baroque stuff. Just listen to anything Bach did for a masterclass in how to use plain scaleruns and making them sound extremely musical. There's a time and place for them though, and running up and down a scale as your entire solo, is not it.

>playing a scale is a solo Wow okay bruh but did you just have to attack me like that.

[@vizz2905]

[@ozlovell3635]

2:07 sounds like a kerry king solo

[@cancercrew7670]

2:15 there can never be too many pinch harmonics

[@Sabroe_ffs]

0:37 Don't ever play that solo like that again... I can't unhear it now!

[@MrJpm1989]

The best ever guitar video and it really points out how to be a better player. Amazing job.

[@ConeJellos]

2:35 YES! THEY NEED TO BE CALLED OUT FOR THE WRONGS THEY HAVE DONE!

[@splash5427]

[@kungfuman82]

The "using a scale as a solo" part sounded like folk metal to me.

[@theaquariuschannel666]

[@backyardboogiewoogie]

This is thebest Samus66 video hands down.

[@lasamoostang]

Oh the old High School tone. My Line 6 Spider IV 15W, Insane setting with the gain all the way up. Good times.
