It’s been a while since we last did a study on the impressionistic stylings of Marc Ribot.. a favourite guitarist of mine. His work across a whole slew of incredible Tom Waits albums has kept me inspired for many years now. Today we learn and analyse the key elements of his “Dead and Lovely” solo. It’s a super short solo so I’ve also done an in depth breakdown of my extended improvised solo where we apply some of Marc’s ideas and many more things besides!
The lesson materials are a real bumper pack again on this one, not only containing the solos but also neatly typed out sheets of all the discussed key elements.. arpeggios, triads & scale patterns! This should provide you with inspiring lead guitar ideas for many years to come!
