Alright guys, Jack here jbf music and guitar lessons, what I’ve got for you here are
these 3 children of bodom guitar licks from Alexi Lahio, with tabs slowed down and in
ascending difficulty.
The tabs; PDF, PNG and guitar pro files for all of thesec licks are up on Patreon.com/jbfmusic
if you want ‘em. Make sure to subscribe and do that bell thing to be kept up to date
with new content. And also a huge shout out to John Rambo and Rabbi Rabbs, for their continued
support on Patreon! Cheers dudes! Oh, I’m in standard tuning for all of these
and grudgingly using my bridge pickup for a more authentic tone! Ok, technically not
a lick, a solo from Hatebreeder, but I couldn’t just pick one idea from this, it’s just
too good! So, a quick breakdown of the technique here; starting ahead of the beat and picking
these notes, make sure to slide up to that 15th fret, I use my 1st finger for that position
shift.
For this string hopping, you could bar your 1st finger, I use these two. Some pedal point
and this little ½ tone bend. Shred run here in triplets; for an explanation
on these sorts of runs and how to improvise with them click the little I up there]. Pick
these and bend this note by a tone. This great little arpeggio, then make sure your muting
game is up to scratch; my top ten tips on achieving that with the little i; we’re
hopping all the way over to the E string, play these staccato; so mute the string after
each hit and go up the scale, ending on a bend with some vibrato- again you can find
a video tutorial on how to do that with the little i.
If you’re enjoying this and want to see more of this kind of thing please do let me
know with a like and a comment- both are essential in traversing the uphill struggle that is
the notorious algorithm! If you find this one too tricky, I’d suggest getting some
Michael Schenker licks down first; you can get them tabbed with the I up there; a simpler
approach to this, but at a slightly less blistering speed!
Hate crew death roll’s Needled twenty four seven and the intro guitar solo- I think this
is how Alexi Lahio picks it, but as ever, adjust as needed to get it down! Up stroke,
pull off, sweep down twice, up stroke, two pull offs. Repeat that from the sweeping part;
you can see with the overlay. Then we just repeat that bar.
In bar 3 hitting the e string with a downstroke, picking these, pull off, more picking and
a final pull off here, picking these last notes. Full tone bend- I’d pull the string
down here for more strength, slide down and wrap up with.
Good going if you’re still here and a shout out to the lick squad elite- you guys rock!
This one here; Lil blood red riding hood; is a doozy, very fiddley lick indeed!
Again I think there is some strategic legato in here; adjust to taste. Downward pick slanting
is you friend here; for a quick 101 on that technique make sure to give the little I up
there a click. Star on a down, pick these 3 notes, pull off, pick the remainder of the
bar. Repeat that bar. The 1st half this is the same, then we move
up to here, again, pick 3 notes, pull off, but then we’re doing a short sweep; so switching
to upward pickslanting here. Then back to the pick pattern from bar 5, in bar 7, again
playing that in bar 8. Palm muting the G and D string a bit here really helps get that
Alexi Lahio tone or sound.
Bar 9 sees us use the start of the pattern; just like we did in bar 6, then we shift it
up by a tone, picking the same way. The last bar here it’s the same picking
pattern, but over these notes and finishing on a bend with vibrato.
