The Final Countdown | Guitar Solo Lesson

[Sandman..]

I have finally, finally got it . I am going to crawl out to the garden and die a happy man . Thank you Tom ❤

Finally someone got it right. If you watch older videos of Norum playing, he is alternate picking. As you said, it makes the timing correct and sweeping it just doesn't "sound" right. Bravo!!

Finally!!! Thanks to the simplified version I have been able to fit those 5 circles into 4 beats! Thank a lot.

John is such a great soloist. He has that same vibe and feel that has always made rock guitar playing ear catching John has great communication through his (GUITAR) solo's 🤘

[Tremurutube]

Thank you, you really helped me. I couldn't understand the rhythm for a long time. There are many videos on YouTube where this solo is analyzed, but not one has been explained as well. You're the best!

[TomShreds]

Thanks for watching Shredders! What solos do you want me to break down for you? Anything that's always been impossible, or just never made sense? Let me know! 🎸

[DonaldDuck]

U showed the easiest way for me to play the solo..thank u for ur help

[IAmUBoy]

GG WP !!
I learned timing, picking & pattern.
Those R the secrets of this solo that nobody's talking about !

I thought I had that one down pretty good until you came along and throw a spanner in the work! Thanks a mil for correcting my mistakes. Just came across your channel and subscribed straight away. Keep up the awesome work and G'day from Mossman in the far north🤘🎸

[sabasguitar]

You made it, dude! Finally someone who would actually explain it and demonstrate it how it should be played, step by step! I'll start practicing, although I'm not sure if I'll ever be capable of playing it at full speed, but as long as I'm playing it right, I'll be happy. Thanks so much! You got a new subscriber.

And yes, I do actually have a request for you: "Fame" guitar solo, you know, that Irene Cara song from ancient times, but it has a very well thought out solo. I did my work and tried to figure it out, but I know is not that accurate, I'm sure you'll find a way to explain it and to show how to play it well. Thanks again, man! I'm just a 56 years old dinosaur bedroom player from Venezuela, just trying to enjoy this hobby. Cheers!

Hello Tom, thank you very much for this video. Your tone is amazing and you have explaind everything very well!

[wolfmember]

Thanks man! I've seen Norum play this with your method and was slightly taken aback because every tutorial show this sweep-picked. But it feels more natural playing your way so thanks for showing me the right way 👌

[mehmetgulseven]

Great video. Just when I was about to go crazy, you rushed to help me. thanks. nice explanation.🤘🤘🤘❤❤❤

[roblucchesi]

Awesome tutorial. I reckon Eugene trick bag sweeps and the whole enchilada. 👍😃

[alpburak]

Helpful! I really couldn't figure it out how to do that picking. Now, it's clear! Thanks.

[CaptAaronRFS]

Yes this is how john and kee played it

[dtop]

Yay .. yay ... yay! I can sleep well. Thank you dr. Tom

[williamryan]

Thank you so much for this! I have watched so many videos trying to figure out the feel of it, and every time I tried hybrid picking like they said, it felt so off.

[GambiarraCode]

The Best Final Countdown solo lesson I ever seen!!!
I'm still not able to play this, btw. but this clarify me a lot. Can you bring a video playing Domination solo from Pantera? This one is too fast and hard. That 12-15-18 arpeggio is insane.

[Ritchieguss]

Al fin! Alguien que lo explique bien! Recién ahora lo entiendo! Thank you so much!!
