Lick of the Week Merry Xmas

Instructor · Post by **Instructor** » Tue Dec 21, 2010 4:13 am

Transcribed some parts off Transiberian Orchestra. This is off "The Lost Christmas Eve" Track 1 - "Faith Noel" This comes in after the Melody for "The first Noel" when the main theme begins.

Chords are C - D - Eb - F back to C and repeat. This comes in at 1:35 on the video and ends at 1:50

1:50-2:09

This lick here is played over a D Major, that comes at the end of the blues run (not tabbed), and is essentially a sweep picked D Major arpeggio with a tapped note at the 17th fret, with the index finger of your picking hand. Practice it slowly till you get it up to speed.

I couldnt find a YouTube that shows this as the song is edited in the example... :S

i agree
mp3 examples would make it a lot more user friendly...and make it more able to connect with the theory

Is that because it doesn't work with the site? If so can you please send me the mp3 and I will resolve the issue!

Cheers

I havent attempted to do any MP3s for this but I found a You Tube Link to the song with the time annotated in the licks.

The Guitarist in this cover does the licks exactly like I figured them!
