Melodic Pop Rock Solo in G

Melodic Rock Guitar solo (with guitar tabs) for the original jam track ('Modern Country Rock Jam Track') I posted before. The main elements for this guitar solo are melodic licks, double stops, and modern adaptations of country licks. Enjoy!

---ABOUT This Solo---
The intro sets the tone for an uplifting, modern country rock pop groove and a melodic solo improvisation. After a tasty country guitar lick, the verse starts with the same chords as the intro. In this first part of the melodic rock guitar solo, I focus on chord tones, embellished with slides, pull-offs, and hammer-ons. I play in the bridge position of my new Fender Vintera 60s Modified LPB. I was quite surprised to learn that this tele bridge pickup is 'hot' enough to produce this type of guitar lead tones. After the turnaround (bar 26-29), the guitar solo continues with a motif of double stops. The energy continues to build, and in bar 38, I play a melodic pattern with a pedaling open E-string. The inspiration for this part comes from songs like 'The Chain' (Fleetwood Mac) or 'Oh Darkness' (Admiral Freebee). What follows is the guitar solo's highest point of energy (bars 41-44), with a few blazing blues licks and a pinch of shredding. Bar 46 is the bridge of this song, but you could look a this as a post-chorus. The guitar solo emphasizes melody and double stops again. Some of the melodic patterns return and - after pickup in bar 53 - the guitar solo lowers its register. After a few interesting rhythmic patterns, this melodic rock guitar solo ends with a modern country lick in the key of G major.
