  • Need some riffs/solo licks

    Im trying out for a band in a few days that resembles very much of sepultura and black label society. for the most part, im prepared, but does anyone have any little solo runs or cool riffs in that style that i could whip out at the audition? They tune to c...something ive never really done before, i wish i had two guitars so dropping down wasnt such a pain. [img]images/icons/confused.gif[/img] but anyways, any suggestions welcome, soundclips perhaps? Thanks guys! [img]graemlins/band.gif[/img]

    I hope this isnt too late but check out chops from hell. If you can play any of the licks from there CLEANLY then you will impress anyone!

      Well i play in a powermetal band... but some shit i like to do is octave runs...


      like


      -----------------------------------12-14-15-
      --------------------------12-14-15----------
      -------------------7-9-10-------------------
      ------------7-9-10--------------------------
      ------5-7-8---------------------------------
      -5-7-8--------------------------------------


      Also try a typical Randy Rhoads/Zakk wylde movement like the end of the No More Tears solo


      E-13-10-13-10-------||-15-13-15-13------||-17-15-17-15-----------
      B-------------13-10-||-------------15-13||-------------18-15-----


      Also switching between pentatonic bonxes is a very Zakk type thing


      --------------------------------------5-8-5
      ----------------------------------5-8-----
      ---------------------------5--5-7----------
      -----------------------5-7---7-------------
      ---------3-5-3-5-7-5-7-------------------------
      -3-5-3-5------------------------------------


      And some bluesly bends like


      ----------------------------------------
      -14(b16)-12----14----12-14-12----------------------------
      ------------14----14------------------------
      ----------------------------------------
      ----------------------------------------
      ----------------------------------------

        If you're looking for something in standard c tuning, try Archenemy:

        If it's in a drop C tuning, I highly suggest Shadows Fall:
        http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/...circle_tab.htm

        These solos are pretty goddamn hard, especially the Shadows Fall solo. Jesus, Donais can tear it up!

        Good luck! Hope this helps.
