By adding some feel and emotion into a solo you begin to find great melodic lines that stick in people’s head. Padge uses a blend of minor pentatonic and full minor scales as his main weapons and masterfully executes techniques such as bending, arpeggios, and two-handed tapping while still being conscious that melody should be present.
In this lesson I want to look at a lead section inspired by the title song from the album Scream Aim Fire, to give you a great example of how to mix shred and melody into one exciting solo. FYI: Padge tunes down a full-step to D, so all the pitches will sound a full-step lower than written in the notation. When you give a listen to this entire solo after dissecting it you can see the creative vision Padge employs.
