"Kissing The Shadows" (Children Of Bodom) Solo Lesson/Analysis
Added 2025-08-21 14:28:43 +0000 UTCFor sure the most infamous Children Of Bodom solo, Kissing The Shadows is up there with the most legendary shred solos of all time and is (unsurprisingly) a serious challenge!
The one redeeming factor of this solo is that all of the shapes, patterns and fingerings are all very bog-standard and probably nothing you haven't encountered before. The only trouble is the sheer speed! Executing some of these runs cleanly at the required BPM is no easy task and will be an ultimate test of your technique.
Good luck and don't forget to share your progress with everyone in the Discord server!

Hi Brad, thank you for this. Quick suggestion, could you please put the chords changes of each bar above the solos so that we learn how the notes are played in relation to the chords? Thank you & keep up the great work!
