Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned pro, chances are you play along to your favorite guitar players from time time. It is a great way to further our guitar skills and often opens us up to fresh new ideas that we may have otherwise have never thought of. In this section, I hope to show you the limitless creativity that some great guitar players have displayed and hopefully it will inspire you to greatness!

In the previous lesson I went over the first 8 measures of the solo section in Super Colossal. In this guitar lesson I will go over the remainder. The remainder of the solo has some elements you have already seen in the first 8 measures - A# Pentatonic Minor lines played over an A#5 chord. Just like we saw in the first half of the solo, the second half starts off with 4 measures of A#5 chords. This time, instead of progressing to C#5, the progression switches to D#5 for 2 measures and G#5 for 2 measures. In total, the chord progression for the solo section is

| A#5 A#5 A#5 A#5 | A#5 A#5 A#5 A#5 | A#5 A#5 A#5 A#5 | A#5 A#5 A#5 A#5 |
| C#5 C#5 C#5 C#5 | C#5 C#5 C#5 C#5 | C#5 C#5 C#5 C#5 | C#5 C#5 C#5 C#5 |
| A#5 A#5 A#5 A#5 | A#5 A#5 A#5 A#5 | A#5 A#5 A#5 A#5 | A#5 A#5 A#5 A#5 |
| D#5 D#5 D#5 D#5 | D#5 D#5 D#5 D#5 | G#5 G#5 G#5 G#5 | G#5 G#5 G#5 G#5 |

Above you see the tab fo the final 8 measures of the solo. The tab for this piece is readily available online. The tab I used was taken from a PowerTab file found here. The second half is relatively easy to play technically, as was the case with the first half.Note: The audio file contains the full solo - the second half starts at around 0:24.

You will certainly want to listen to Satriani's version of this piece. If you do not have his latest CD, you can listen to it through Rhapsody. Click here for Rhapsody.

Good luck.
