COFFIN SOLO - BLACK VEIL BRIDES
 
 
THIS SOLO (AS THE WHOLE SONG) IS PERFORMED IN "C HARMONIC MINOR (C D Eb F G Ab B C)",
BY THE WAY ITS 7TH GRADE IN THE SCALE IS MAJOR (you can solve it using G or G7, Bdim or Bmaj7
chords), AND WHEN YOU RETURN YOU WILL USE NORMAL CHORDS OF SCALE (Bb and Gm)
 
PRACTICE MAKES YOU A BETTER GUITARIST AND MUSICIAN EVERYDAY
 
 
 
NOTE: I SUGGEST TO USE NECK PICKUP FOR ALL, AND SET UP (OPTIONALLY) A REVERB TO PLAY THIS SOLO

PART III: TAP SCALE ON 4TH GRADES (Three finger tap)
For the pinch harmonic you have to use whammy bar (in case you have a floyd rose bridge)
If you don't have it, just pick the note and make vibrato
