JTC Claudio Pietronik: Cinematic Soloing Masterclass [TUTORiAL]

Learn directly from Claudio how to use scales alongside melodic devices to create tension/release, sweeping guitar lines and epic cinematic solos in this soundtrack style masterclass ! The masterclass PDF lesson starts you off with 5 warm up licks. These will help to get your fingers warmed up and introduce you to a few of the techniques that will be covered throughout the masterclass including hybrid picking and arpeggios. Practising these first will really help you get started ! Next up comes 10 looped licks played at a faster and slower speed. These utilise a lot of the techniques and devices taught in the masterclass and are the main exercises for perfecting the concepts ! After this we have 5 slow licks that are extracts from the main solo. These are designed to allow you to practise 5 key moments from the main solo at a slow and isolated speed. This will let you really analyse Claudio's approach and help you to see in detail how he plays these lines. Lastly, comes the full solo which will combine everything you've learned into one epic cinematic solo! This blazing trail of creative and provoking guitar lines will use all of the techniques, melodic devices and tension building techniques that Claudio has spoken about in the masterclass. Mastering this, is the final task before you tackle the full jam tracks in order to create your own epic cinematic solos! The unconventional harmonic approach to the backing track in this package really forces you to find interesting and new melodic ideas for your solos. For the theory in this pack there is a focus on not only scales, but a second approach utilising triads + intervals as a base for improvisation. You will find aeolian, natural minor, dorian, melodic minor, harmonic minor and lydian scales, alongside diminished fragments, lots of arpeggio ideas and chromatics. For technique, Claudio will be covering lots of alternate picking, hybrid picking, tapping, large stretches, bending, slides, vibrato, legato lines and more! If you've ever been interested in how to create those massive 'in your face' epic solos that often feature in cinematic soundtracks, then this is the package for you !
