Posted by jp on 12/11/2006, 9:07 am, in reply to "Katie Did solo" I am honored to be of inspiration for your studies. You have everything pretty much there except the ending lick, which still sounds good the way you are playing it, but if you want to recreate the melody I did with the fingering I did, I played it a little differently at the end of the solo....... I used a chordal shape that happenes similarly earlier in the solo when it goes to the F chord where you are using your 3rd finger on the on the D string on the 3rd fret (F note) and your first finger on the 1st fret of the B string (C note)...... which is really playing a 5th between your 1st and 3rd fingers in a shape of a major triad without the 3rd....that chord slides up to the G right after that which you also do on your video.... that same shape is also used on the last 3 notes (or chords) of the solo. Again a major triad being Root, third and fifth, this is an open sounding fifth in that hand position...just using your 1st and 3rd fingers.....so the ending 3 notes of the solo is that exact same chord position, or that same fifth harmony in that same hand position....) i.e.....sliding that same chordal shape of that open fifth from a G (no3) ....(1st finger 5th fret on D string (G note)/1st finger 3rd fret B string (D note)......., up the neck to a C(no3) ...1st finger on the 10th fret of the D string (C note)/3rd finger on the 8th fret of the B string (G note) and then sliding down and ending on an A(no3) (1st finger, 7th fret on D string (A note)/ 3rd finger, 5th fret on B string (E note). You might also note that I actually hit the 1st of these 3 chords (at the G(no3) chord) and didn't restrike the guitar for the 2nd and 3 chord, but rather, slide them while the notes were sustaining for a slippery effect...at the end of that 3 chord phraze, if you have a vibrato bar you'd use that to recreate the vibrato timing at the ending of the solo as well Hope this helps! My regards to you and your guitar teacher for taking the time to look at this for your studies. Again, I am honored....
Wow.....how wonderful!

Happy Holiday to you and yours.
