20 Melodic Rock Ballad Licks

We are proud to bring you what is possibly Vinai's best work to date! These 20 creative and melodic Rock Ballad licks are accessible enough for intermediate players, with plenty of interesting ideas for the more advanced players to master!

Inside this pack you'll find a combination of beautiful singing melodies, creative use of pedal notes, double-stops and bends, faster melodic lines, interesting use of rhythm and a few moments of all out shred. This makes this the perfect pack for both intermediate and advanced players; there really is something for everyone here!

The licks in this pack mostly use the E major scale and E major pentatonic (a fairly basic palette) but notice in the promo video below how Vinai follows the harmony to create the perfect melodic lines that sound anything but basic. That's one of Vinai's top qualities; taking something good and making it sound INCREDIBLE. You can achieve the same results if you learn these licks thoroughly and analyse his lines with the slow versions of the licks and the accompanying full and accurate tabs. We've provided everything you need here to get jamming in this Rock Ballad style, which includes a full jam track comprising of 2 sections (covering both major and minor focuses plus some interesting outside tensions), and 2 separate shorter jam tracks which have one section each so you can practise each in isolation before you go for the all out jam.

As ever, we have included everything you need to practise and perfect the material in this package. There are video and audio tracks for you to watch/listen and study, accurately transcribed TAB/notation for you to analyse and master as well as backing tracks for you to practise every lick to, and jam out your own solos! We've even included some text notes to help you really get these parts down!
