20 Suspense Driven Ballad Licks

Full of emotion, melodic themes, interest and diversity, these suspense-driven ballad licks will add definition, and a powerful dynamic to your lead playing.

Building on the huge success of Claudio's last licks release '20 Power Ballad Licks', Claudio is back with 20 powerful licks that will help you create interest and suspense in your guitar solos.

Claudio says 'My goal was to create licks that are full of emotion, and to create a big build up and suspense in your playing. This will prove to be a useful addition to your guitar skill set, and add a huge dynamic to your playing.'

These licks feature everything from simple and melodic lead lines, to all out relentless epic rock ballad speed licks. You'll find plenty of legato, string skipping, tapping, sliding, creative bending, use of open strings and whammy bar dips!

Claudio has a real knack for creating theme based licks that are equally melodic at slower tempos as they are at blistering speeds.

This package comes complete with two extremely powerful and jammable backing tracks in two different keys, which are included as individual tracks as well as combined. This makes for a great backdrop for piecing together the licks as you master them, and then start creating your own suspense driven ballad licks!

As ever, we have accurately transcribed every note and included the TAB/notation in the download, full backing tracks, audio solos and track notes.
