Need help figuring out a lead guitar piece

First off, what kind of song is this?

Slow Acoustic love song?
Fast aggressive speed metal?

It's a kind of a slow song.

I played the chords that you gave, and then I played this on top of em, and it sounded pretty good.


Beware though, I have my own distinct style which may differ from yours, so if this is not what you are looking for, disregard it.

Also, our guitars may be tuned differently so that could lead to different sounds....


Enjoy though.

Dammit! it f'd up!!!


Sorry if you can't read it.

Thanks Child,
I'll for surely check this out, I don't have time right now, but i'll get back to u and tell what I think. Thanks for taken the time.

No problem man.

Well I've been playin this peice. I'm not very good at it all and I know it's not sounding right because I don't play tabs very good, but practice makes perfect right. I was just wondering what program you used to record the chord playing to then play lead over top?

I didn't record...I just played the chords several times and then kicked out that solo, and it sounded pretty good.

Ohh ok, well i'll just have to learn to play it faster. Just to make sure, what does the "/" mean?

slide...I suck at tabbing things out. Even if you decide that this solo isn't right for the song, you can use it as a practice tool.

Ok great, i was using it as a slide. And yes your right if it doens't work out I will still be glad I had it.
How did you figure it out anyway, thats what I always have troublw doin.

After playing for a while you'll recognize certain patterns that develope in other solos, and different types of solos. Box pattern, running up and down the neck, hammer ons and pull offs. Just learn what you can and keep practicing.

Have you ever been to wholenote.com, stand up?
