Get well soon Ronnie! I had tickets to the Dio concert in London a couple of days ago, but it was cancelled due to illness although I was disappointed, Id prefer he makes a quick recovery & Ill get along to the next one. I saw Dio in the 80s, probably the Holy Diver tour he might be small, but hes got a huge voice. A bit of Sabbath with Dio then. Great riff as with a lot of classics, its not really a tricky one. The solo is though. Iommi always sounds like hes on a complete wig-out & barely ...

Again, getting through all the tab I haven't had a go at, but thought I might like to..... Haven't listened to this one much - The Great Southern Trendkill just didn't have the killer tracks that Cowboys From Hell & Vulgar Display of Power did. But, I do like this one & got into it more & more as I learned it. Weird chords, a mix of "acoustic" & heavy, screaming pinch harmonics & the little outro arpeggio section with delay - nice! Bowel looseningly low tuning again & I really, really can't ...

I love this one. John Sykes is a guitar hero of mine & this is my favourite Whitesnake track. Scream4vengeance & Asphyx123 have a collaboration cover on YouTube that rocks & watching it proved too much temptation & I had to have a go. I've been put off by the solo before - and the lack of decent tab, but I found a Guitar Pro version that was a starting point & got the solo from a YouTube lesson by Samhillband. The backing is courtesy of a Whitesnake Demo posted by Purplesnakesite - and for ...

Why not. No awkward solos, and I had the copy of Guitar World just sitting begging to be opened on the tab pages. Bloody awkward riffs though & I lose time in a couple of places. Nice & low, so watch those bowels. I think I managed some of the "squealies" on the 3rd string ok (tuned B, F#, B, E, G#, C#), but the 1st string ones don't pop out much. Hey ho. I'm not very high in the mix so you can hear the Slipknot boys in the background making my squeals sound a bit lame ("Squeal like a pig ...

More Lizzy! I'm digging deep into my tab archives now..... For you slightly younger people - yes, Thin Lizzy did it before Metallica.

More Alice - I had the tab, but I had to buy the album to get a backing track. Dedication, eh? I haven't listened to much Alice in Chains, although I did see them at Download a couple of years ago, but what I've heard so far is pretty cool! I should be using a talk box - but I've settled with the Boss Auto Wah set on "Humanizer" & got a semi decent tone with a bit of fiddling. I fiddled with the auto wah as well. This one took about an hour & was done in one take. Noice. ... Alice in Chains ...

Back to Guitar Hero tracks! The tab turned up recently & we had a copy of what may be the radio edit of the track. I've used this as backing. Sadly, a lot of the really tricky second guitar solo has been cut out in the CD edit. Gosh darn it. And I always so look forward to real finger-mangling solos. It made the whole thing quicker to learn though. The usual "don't know the track well enough" hesitations in the solos & one annoying one in the outro just after the backing fades. But ok for a ...

Go on, tell me the hairs didn't stand up on the back of your neck when you heard the main riff. They didn't? You must have alopecia. That's like Aloe Vera, but much less succulent. Don't Fear was the intro to the mini series of The Stand (Steven King) - played across a backdrop of people dropping like flies from a virus. Made me shiver, anyway. The solo isn't tooooo bad - I don't know it all that well. It suprised me when I listened to the full track - I don't recall ever having heard it ...

Another Velvet Revolver track. Off their last album, Libertad. Not a bad album, but this is the standout track on it, in my opinion. Easy enough, until the solo. Very similar to Dirty Little Thing, where the solo sounded easy, but ripped along. This one is at the boundary of my finger speed & one of the quick flurries is a bit messy - but in general, not too bad.... Bloody hurt my fingers practising the solo again - no more Slash tracks for a while! I've already put the top hat away, but I ...

Another low tuned one, so another outing for the baritone......... This one was ok, although I'm not too sure about the accuracy of the solo. The only problems were switching the bloody wah on & off, as usual, & having a cough meant my gimp mask felt a bit restrictive.
