  • Hi guys! Welcome to lesson 71 of Learn That Solo! Today we look at how to play the solo from 'December Flower' by In Flames.
    The hardest part of this solo is tuning down to C standard (C F Bb Eb G C). After that the solo itself is relatively straight forward. All the scales and ideas are just simple things played fast at times and even then, it's never too shreddy. It's also catchy and melodic so it's easy to grasp the notes, timing and phrasing.
    If you wish to request a tab/guitar pro file for this song, please send an email to learnthatsolo@gmail.com and we can discuss further.
    Take care guys! Happy shredding!

    One of the greatest solos of all time! Since this is old school melodic death metal, Could I possibly request the solo to Cold by At The Gates. Another timeless guitar solo even though it was done by Andy LaRocque from King Diamond
    It would be a awesome lesson =]

    Oh my god. You have no idea how helpful this is. I really need to work on my soloing technique and your positioning and phrasing is a godsend. I love how you go back and slowly repeat the sections. I'm halfway through this. Keep up the great work. You're an incredible teacher!

    for the last 12 years around the 60% of the time that I look for a solo that I want to learn I get to this guy and he's playing it, it looks like we have the same tastes in music, if someday you visit bangkok I'll buy you beers until my debt is paid
