I am trying to play a solo which goes a little something like this: b meaning bend.
e-11---13b----13b—11------11---------11-------10-----------------8----8------------8---8---
b-------------------------13-------------------10---------8-----11b----------------11b-----------
g--------------------------------------12----------------------------------------------------------10
I am struggling to work out the best starting position for my fingers ( should I have my little finger or ring finger on 13 fret??) and when and to where should I move my fingers when you I change position for the second part of the solo??? Any thoughts or ideas greatly appreciated!!
I wouldn't change posistions really, I'd change the way you're playing the solo
The first 8 on B can be played at the 12th fret on G
The 8's on E can be played at the 12th fret of B
You're ring finger should be fretting the 13th fret of E to start, you play the 12th fret of G with your middle figner
In the order that you wrote the notes, these are the fingers I'd use
1st -3rd-3rd-1st-3rd-1st-2nd-2nd-1st-2nd-3rd-2nd-3rd-3rd-2nd-3rd-3rd-1st
I hope that helps, kind of complicated, but it's all in order, take a minute and try to figure it out with that...It's kind of a strange solo, what song is it from?
Taso
Thanks for the reply I will give your method a try. Its part of the solo from the strokes "last nite"
I like Taso's suggestion. Short of that I would start at the 11th pos and shift to the 8th pos. I would bend 13 with my ring finger.
