Topic: Need help with a SOLO

Hello, my name is Lennert and I'm totally new to this forum ^^
I'm from belguim so my english grammar won't be 100%
Anyway, I kinda need some help with this song:
The Runaway State - Circles
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVMI859Z … ure=relmfu
I'm in love with this song big_smile
I know how to play the whole song and everything, the only tricky thing is the last solo.
I tried a bunch of stuff and nothing really sounded alike.
Even my guitar Teacher couldn't figuere it out.

It would be AMAZING if somebody could post the cords or maybe even a video smile
Thank you!

Re: Need help with a SOLO

Are you looking to recreate the solo exactly or jam out original stuff on it?

either way, it sounds like a mixolydian scale to me.

A mixolydian?

There are 2 guitars, but I kinda want to play it as exactly as possible.
You see there are 3solo's in the song. The first 2 are just 1 guitar, so I guess the 3rd one will be 1 guitar aswell?
