Guitar Harmonization

Here’s the thing; you just don’t belch out any guitar solo out of the blue. You have to think it over and over until you finally come up with something epic. Not any guitar solo would do, matter of fact. Although, not every legendary guitar solo wasn’t thought about like how I said you world, however, they have the skills and the common sense of a guitar expert. That is why they could come up with epic guitar solos like the ones that you hear on Guns N Roses’ November Rain. Now, if you are asking me that is what I call epic.

Guitar Harmonization – the technique

You know what you could do to make your solos epic? Guitar techniques. All you have to do is to spice up your existing solos in mind and to do that; you should learn the different guitar techniques known to mankind. Luckily, I have something to teach you, it’s called “Guitar Harmonization”. It is a guitar technique used to spice up that old and boring guitar solos that you probably cooked up while you was in the bathroom and is worth nothing and wouldn’t be listened to even by a 2 year old.

Guitar Harmonization – how to do it?

The concept is to play a lick, it doesn’t matter what scale you would use as long as you remember the notes. Okay, back to the harmonization concept. It is done by playing a lick or a melody then you add a note above it that is usually a diatonic third. Either you make a loop or you play both the notes at the same time or you have another guitar player play the diatonic notes. That is basically the concept of harmonization.

Here is the Tablature

E –8–7–5—————————————–

B ———–5–6–5——————————–

G ————————————————–

D ————————————————–

A ————————————————–

E ————————————————–

A third above this would be:

E –12–10–8—————————————

B ————-8–10–8—————————–

G ————————————————–

D ————————————————–

A ————————————————–

E ————————————————–

and that is guitar harmonization.
