Hi Folks, My lesson for this week is the first chorus of solo for "The Stumble." As simple as it is harmonically I found it a challenge myself to play it like Freddy. That proves the point that sometimes the hardest thing to do is play simply. In this tune Freddy shows how less is more by basically building the whole solo around a few deceptively simple riffs. It a fun tune and of course you can make it your own, but learning the original solo is worth the time and effort!
Enjoy, Duke

such awesome guitar work - so true! was this solo transcribed from a particular recording of The Stumble? I've got six versions and they're all different!
