Topic: Lick of the Week Merry Xmas

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

Re: Lick of the Week Merry Xmas

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

Re: Lick of the Week Merry Xmas

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!
