Original, heavy rock guitar solo (155 BPM) in D minor, inspired partly by 80s Rock (Iron Maiden, Stratovarius, and others) but mainly by Arcade game boss fight music! Are you up for a challenge?

About This Solo:

This 80s melodic rock solo in the key of D minor took a while to assemble! In other words, I had to level up, both in playing and editing skills, to make everything work. e.g., playing the sweeppicking part 'cleanly' took more practice than anticipated. In fact, I rerecorded the entire video because I wasn't happy with my first performance. Although obviously a lot can be corrected in the 'editing' phase, I like to keep these edits to a minimum to keep things 'real' for you guys! Hopefully, this 80s gamestyle solo, called 'Arcade' is as fun and inspiring for you as it was for me! Stick around for the 8bit outro ;)

Gear:

Guitar: Suhr Modern Pro
Amps: Fractal AX8
Bass: Spectrasonics Trilian
Drums: Steven Slate 5.5

I had a lot of fun making this video, & I sincerely hope that this video will provide you with some guitar inspiration for your own playing!

Thanks a lot for your support!
