"Daddy, Brother, Lover, Little Boy" (Mr. Big/Paul Gilbert) Solo Lesson/Analysis
For some reason we've come this far at the Guitar School without properly going over a Paul Gilbert solo - bloody hell! So today we're rectifying this very serious situation by learning his most iconic guitar solo; the Mr. Big classic "Daddy, Brother, Lover, Little Boy" (thankfully the song is much better than the bloody awful title haha).
This solo is a short-but-intense picking workout at the breakneck tempo of 180bpm that will REALLY put your 3NPS accuracy and string transitions to the test. Unfortunately I'm not using a drill in the 2nd section like Paul does in the original but feel free to crack open the toolbox if you so wish!
Good luck and don't forget to share your progress with everyone in the Discord server!
