Example6 schenker-moore style solo

-

For our combinatio­n Michael Schenker and Vinnie Moore solo, start with your first finger on the second string and your third finger on the third, to perform five unison bends ascending through E Natural minor (E-F#-G-A-B-C-D); bend the third string slowly to meet the same pitch as the second string. Starting on bar 5 we have a repeating blues lick that is three eighth-notes in length and rhythmical­ly resolves after three bars. The solo finishes with a 16th-note run using a mixture of minor Pentatonic and Blues scale. I suggest accenting the first note of each downbeat to help make the timing as tight as possible.
