LESSON LAB: (The solo broken down and explained!)
Ethans shred solo here is just a scale run in
B natural Minor(B C# D E F# G A). FIG 1 He plays the minor scale ascending up higher up
the neck with the use of major 2nds and minor 2nds. As he starts on the 5th and runs up
scale and finishes FIG 1 with the root, a High B note.
He then brings us into FIG 2 with his first part of it reapeating the use of Major 3rds
minor 3rds. It then turns to Minor 3rds to minor 3rds in the second part of the lick and
that measure with the 5th
FIG 3 is generally the same as FIG 2 just played lower on the neck and ending with the
note, just a octave lower than the FIG 2
FIG 4 is a tremelo picked part that raises you up and sits you down with his ascending
minor scale. He starts the measure of on the 5th and ends it right on the 3rd. Infact,
is playing an exact scale run. Here is what he does: 5th -> 6th -> 7th -> root -> 2nd ->
-> 3rd. Basically he tricks into thinking he will play the 3rd which instead he jumps
the 4th and drops us right on the 3rd. Then he switch to onctaves after the solo which
starts on F#(5th) and brings it down to E(4th which means because its a 4th, it has to
which it does once it hits the chorus which is infact a B note. Thats about it for the solo.
