After weeks and weeks of practice, I've finally nailed the solo of Highway Star. Its a funny solo that mixes the chord progressions and scales of Bach and Pagnini, the switch's to a blues scale after the speed picking section. Having listened to a lot of Deep Purple lately and studying Ritchie quite closely, his style is very classicaly rooted, he's just playing it on a guitar as opposed to violins. I can do some of Beethovens 5th on the guitar, and i'm going to try and do some more classical stuff. It'll be hard..but worth it!!!
Plus he's a bit off a show off on the guitar and I like that a lot..see above pic!!
