Soloing Secrets - Leslie West

Hey everybody! Here's the next episode of Soloing Secrets with the legendary Leslie West. I've had a number of requests to feature more of Leslie West's timeless and massively influential music, and it was about two months ago when I first featured him in a Chordplay episode. This time, we're taking a deep-dive look into his innovative and and expressive soloing style - so let's dive in!

This lesson takes a look at a number of licks and phrases pulled from three Leslie West-related albums, including his 1969 debut solo album entitled 'Mountain,' along with two albums from his group, which was also called Mountain. The examples shared here include sections from songs such as 'Silver Paper,' 'For Yasgur's Farm,' 'Blind Man,' and 'Don't Look Around,' to name a few.

Needless to say, if you're a Leslie West/Mountain fan, a fan of 1960s/1970s rock and blues-rock music, a guitarist looking for some tasty soloing ideas to add to their bag of tricks, or maybe you're just curious what all the fuss is about - this lesson is totally for you!
