    I love the Halloween theme song played by Buckethead. He can play the melody with his left hand tapping and tapping the bass part with his right hand

    Chromaticism is always an easy way to get spooky with it. Take a heavy minor 1 or 2 bar riff, and repeat it one measure up the fretboard. Repeat process until spooked.

    Nice video. Hey man by the way, I am also working on Fear of the Dark solo.... the second solo is very fast, I am wondering how long did it take for you to play it accurately? I am hoping I'll play it as well... :). Did you learn through tabs, or watching concert videos? Cheers! Very nice playing, keep at it!

    • @KevinBalke
      @KevinBalke  Год назад +1

      I always listen to the record and several concert videos to figure things out. I don't think I get my tabs 100% right all the time, but they should be pretty accurate overall! The second Fear of the Dark solo is pretty tough, took me about a week or so to get that down. But keep in mind that I also need to do a lot of takes to get the complicated parts right for my videos, so it probably still took me a lot of tries to nail the solo accurately!
