EXAMPLE6 SoloIng

cd track 21

inspired by classic Jimmy solos, this example showcases a few of Jimmy’s favourite GUITAR moves. TECHNIQUESWe stay almost 2 exclusively7 1 Pentatonic, shifting between the various ‘shapes’ as we build in intensity towards bar 8 - this was a favourite ploy in many solos, including Whole Lotta Love and Stairway To Heaven. Pay close attention to bends, vibrato and staccato markings to get the feel, then why not use this as a springboard for your own improvisations?
