"Electric Crown" (Testament) Solo Lesson/Analysis

Alex Skolnick of Testament is for sure way up there in a list of most criminally underrated guitarists of all time. Not only does he have killer chops, but his sense of melody and creativity is world class - so I figured it's about damn time we went over one of his solos!

The awesome solo in Electric Crown is perhaps his most iconic, featuring all of his signature moves such as big legato runs, fat pinches, tasty Blues licks, and even some modal interchange. It's also surprisingly easy compared to many other Testament solos so there's no excuse not give this bad boi a go.

Good luck and don't forget to share your progress with everyone in the Discord server!
