EXAMPLE 5 TASTE

This example is played at a fast tempo so it makes sense to practise both the riff and the solo slowly first. It’s much easier (and quicker) to learn fast music this way. Start at 90 bpm and gradually notch up your metronome. Notice how Ex 5 Taste the solo alternates between Minor and Major Pentatonic licks, a technique employed by many of the blues-rock guitarists and particularly effective when applied over ‘harmonically neutral’ power chords as in this example.
