Hi Folks! I want to share my thoughts on each solo and explain why I included them in the list. I carefully selected solos that are suitable for beginners who want to improve their skills while enjoying the process. "Forever" - This solo has a catchy melody, with the only challenge being the 1.5-step bend. If you're looking to enhance your bending skills, this solo is perfect for you. "Jet City Woman" - If you're new to using the tremolo bar, this solo is a great choice. It's not as cliché as some other recommendations, and the constant half-step bends and unison bends provide valuable benefits. "My Friend Of Misery" - James is a legendary musician, and using triads as a melody requires some creativity. Playing it too straight can sound boring, so incorporating staccatos (mutes) between arpeggiated notes adds a unique timbre. This solo will also improve your muting skills, which are essential for a clean playing style. "Hollow" - Dimebag was a truly unique guitar player known for his impeccable vibrato and bends. This little harmonized melody is a great introduction to playing his style. "Guardians Of Asgaard" - This song is played in a very low tuning (drop A), making it ideal for those who love playing in lower tunings and want to explore lead playing. The slow but constant hammer-ons and pull-offs in the bar 7&8 require careful control. "Living after Midnight" - It's rare to hear a metal solo in a major key, and this Rock & Roll vibe solo brings a joyful energy. Including solos in different keys and tonalities in your repertoire will make you a more versatile musician. "Paranoid" - This solo may not be for absolute beginners, but it introduces different phrasing styles specific to guitarists. Starting with a 1.5-tone pre-bend presents a challenge, but after playing the first solo on the list, it won't be a major hurdle for you. "Wasting Love" - When it comes to phrasing, this solo is a great example of how to make the guitar "talk." If you think a beginner can't play these phrases, well, I'm here to prove you wrong. The guitar has its own language, and this solo will help you learn it. "Psycho" - Playing sustained notes requires more control than you might think. Try to execute them with a soft, controlled vibrato. In the second part of the solo, you need to let the first string ring while playing the notes on the second string, which requires a vertical finger placement. "Unholy Confessions" - This solo is relatively easy, featuring 16th notes that demand short and quick alternate picking. The harmony approach in this solo is not something you'll encounter often, so I recommend playing both harmony parts. Bonus: "She Wolf" - This solo has a captivating melody, but it can be rhythmically confusing due to the off-beat 8th notes. The quick legatos at the end pose a challenging section for aspiring guitarists. I hope you found these insights helpful and informative. Remember, practicing these solos will not only enhance your playing skills but also introduce you to various techniques and styles within the realm of metal guitar. Keep practicing, have fun, and enjoy your journey as a guitarist!
It's something I've always believed - the best solos are the ones that aren't all that complicated. I also think that there's a fine line when it comes to being technically proficient, like it can be too technical and lose what could have been a great solo.
@@Chris-lz1fs I agree. I think you have to find a point in between for the best posible solo. I think think that fast runs and licks and arpeggios can be really beneficial to accompany the melody, but sometimes the melody itself can be lost due to the abuse of those resources
Capo sos un genio,estos tipos de tutoriales de solos completos me encantan a mi Seguí haciendo estos tipos de tutoriales de solos completos y te vas a convertir en el mejor youtuber Están muy buenos todos los solos,un abrazo grande...
I would recommend Janick Gers solo in Blood Brothers for an easy Iron Maiden solo, it's a more well known song and easier solo to play and absolutely beautiful
Watching this video I thought it was, so I grabbed my guitar and started trying to learn it, everything went pretty good until it gets really fast, and now I realize it’s not an easy solo for beginners:(
Kirk from Metallica has some of the best solos in the metal game. No, they are not technical, super progressive, blah blah but boy do they just speak to you and have soul. Same thing with Daron from System of a Down.
Yea… some of these are definitely not easy. I’m saying this as someone who can play the first solo to Phantom of The Opera (which isn’t considered easy)
