Last weekend I was listening to a Gary Moore rendition of Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac’s (the original band formed in the late 60s before Buckingham, Nicks, and Rumours) Need Your Love So Bad. That was prompted by my deciding to work on the intro solo using Justin’s lesson as part of my focus on developing lead technique and improvisation ability. That kicked off a number of people also having a go at the solo.
That activity has now led to the creating of a new Guitar Challenge topic. For those of you not familiar, the topics in that sub-category are all focused on a specific song or musical challenge. The idea is for anybody and everybody, irrespective of play-grade, to have a go at the challenge and share the results. There are some fun challenges but the sub-category is perhaps not as well visited as AVOYP. Go check it out.
And for those interested in developing their lead technique, it is a wonderful solo to learn, to work on feel and bending. Maybe give that a look and see.
Meanwhile, I thought I’d share the original, a classic from a legend RIP Peter Green
