2/25/2022 edit: WHOOOPS totally forgot to attach the TAB to this post! Sorry!!! Snag that thing and mash those ropes! 

Hey guys!

After i learned this one for Art of Guitar's 50 Best Hair Metal Solos video, i knew i had to share it with you all! This is a majestic and melodic solo for all skill levels, its nothing too terribly hard. But the great thing is, its a great study in the way that melodic and harmony work! So in this video, you'll get a full lesson on how to play it, then a complete breakdown on the music theory side of things to explain why it works so well. Enjoy!

Whats the next Vito solo we should delve into?!

Vito is the man. Great job. How about the clean parts on going home tonight? The glassy tone is just lovely, not sure if its just the stienberger and emgs. Make a killer Axe 3 preset work up too.
