Shred This Rockin' Solo Inspired by "Vampire" 🎶 by Olivia Rodrigo!

So far since I started teaching online and playing around with making solos to pop songs, this one is my favorite. I play to go back and finish the entire song, too, and make a music video for it that I'll have over at my @devanhymns channel, so be sure to check that out if you haven't yet. For this solo, I pulled out all the stops with tapping, arpeggios, alternate picking, sweeps, and melodic phrasing. As I mention in the video, I'm not expecting anyone to be excited about learning a solo I wrote. Most guitar teachers are picking apart famous solos and showing you how to play them, so why aren't I doing that? My reasoning is that there are already many teachers out there doing that, so I want to approach it a bit differently, My circular method of teaching scales, modes, and how to unlock the fretboard is woven into everything I teach. So when I approach leads, rather than showing you how to play a lead, I really want to just give you more examples of where you can see these circles and the fretboard code. True, you can see all of this in any solo. But to me, in that case, it really doesn't matter what solos you learn. In other words, once you learn a few solos like this one and start seeing the code for yourself, you can apply that knowledge to most solos and figure out their secrets. Also, it doesn't hurt to come up with my own backing tracks and solos to help avoid copyright strikes! You may ask me then, can I play the "Bark at the Moon" solo by Jake E. Lee or "For the Love of God" by Steve Vai ... ? The answer is yes and no. Yes, because I've learned them before and I'm sure I can learn them again, but no, because I haven't played them regularly in a long time so would need to relearn them. Could I improvise over those songs with something that sounds good even though it's not the same solo? Yes, I can, and in a crowd listening to a cover band, they probably wouldn't even notice the difference. So that's really a personal decision to be true to the artist or stay within a similar sounding box while you're improvising. Either way, the circular nature of the fretboard allows us to play well and with confidence in any given situation. I hope this video and videos like it will help you unlock the code for yourself so you can just pick up the guitar and rip up and down the fretboard with ease!
