Jack here jbf music and guitar lessons, what I’ve got for you here are these 3
easy-ish guitar solos with tabs which are up on Patreon.com/jbfmusic
Drop a like and a comment to show your support for the channel in our never ending
battle against the recommendation system! I’m in standard tuning for all of these,
first up is Joan Jett’s I love rock n roll, let break it down and explore
some of the fancy little tricks you can add in to make it more authentic.
Open string, left hand muting- for more muting technique and tips give the little I a click.
You’ll want to hit a pinch harmonic here; it’s probably around here for me,
near this pickup. Then bend it the note, maybe hitting a partial harmonic. Open string again.
Now! This bit I think was actually a neck bend- I hate doing these, they give me the fear!
My solution is to hit this double stop and bend that 6th fret up by a semi tone,
dip it back to pitch, then back up again. You can rake through the D string making sure to mute it,
or hybrid pick it; pick on the A string, fingering the g string.
You can get a quick 101 tutorial on hybrid picking with the little I up there.
The other fancy thing you *could* do is nut bend, hang on I’ll need to swap guitars here…
Alright, so you could finger an E dominant 7 like this,
an pushing the b string down behind the nut, raising it to simulate that bend.
Not easy, but well worth mentioning- you can get a feel for this sort of
technique with and some licks with the Quick Trick 5 minute tutorial up in the corner there.
But back to track, slide up, just pick these notes, wee semi tone bend;
keep this bit staccato. Same idea, but using the b string’s 12th fret.
Pre bend that 11th fret by a tone this time, release it, pull off.
Then hit that 11th fret using some palm muting. Little hammer on, bit of vibrato, some more palm
muting hammer on, pick these notes and start to slide down the scale on the G
string. The pattern is two, and slide on the third hit, so those 9th frets once more and slide down.
Slight change in bar 7, where we pull off and wrap it up with an A power chord. As a side note
bar 7 might feel a bit weird, it’s in 2/4 so is half the length, so don’t let that put you off!

but the kind of solo you should be able to get the gist of with minimal hassle.
Tone bend, mute the string out, or let the bend die off, but keep it bend. Hit it while
bent, then return to pitch. Pill off picking these notes and maybe adding a tiny wee slow quarter
tone bend as the note sustains- for some more quarter tone idea hit up the little I up there.
Same; tone bend, mute, pre-bend release; idea from the last bar,
just adding a double stop after this time. Barring you 1st finger on those 11th frets.
Position shift here, using my 3rd finger for that 10th fret on the g string.
Work your way down the notes here, tone bend and you can let these notes ring in to each
other a bit for some dirt. So bend, this note twice release the bend a bit then repeat, hit
this note then more or less a repeat in the next bar.
The only difference being we end on that 11th fret and hold it a tiny bit sharp.
Bounce between these notes- feel free to rake in to this,
or even bend that 8th fret sharp by a quarter tone if you want more vibe. Then bar this 8th fret and
mute out the rest of the strings- again you can rake through as many as you want,
just make sure to mute them! It’s in triplets, so you get a , duddleh- duddleh- duddleh-
sort of rhythm. 3 filthy bend to wrap up, aiming for semi tone, if you go under of over
it’ll still do its job
though!

head on over to Patreon.com/jbfmusic. Fear of the dark by Iron Maiden and Janick Ger’s
here laying down a beast of a solo! Some tricky lines, but should pre pretty achievable! If you
want some more straightforward Janick solos check out that tutorial for Wasting Love.
But right, yeah little rake in to this double stop tone bend, release and re-bend that note,
pull off, pick these, vibrato slide down and out. Sliding back up, double
stop, this uni bend; I can’t totally tell which notes he picks; hence the brackets;
but I think it’s just the G string, B then both together.
Tone bend up here, some pull offs, this little 10 in brackets is one of these tiny details,
I think he quickly hammers on; I’d skip it to begin with, get the solo down then revisit
this little articulation. Some more pull offs to round up the bar.
In bar 18, you’ll want to drag the beat a little bit,
playing slightly behind it. Make sure to add vibrato and slide down and out.
Rake in to that 15th fretTone bend, maybe a little bit sharp, picking these notes,
mini trill. You’ll want to sweep up through these notes here- the 12th fret is in brackets,
because it might be more of a muted note than anything else. A slide down to finish off the bar.
Double stop (I think) another tone bend, finish up with some vibrato.
That same double stop idea we started with
and this run down the blues scale, making use of pull offs when crossing the strings, slide
down here, pull off and finish up on that 10th fret. Vibrato & slide down and out.
