"Trapped In A Corner" (Death) Solo Lesson/Analysis

Added 2025-08-04 22:07:40 +0000 UTC

Easily the sickest solo from any Death song, Trapped In A Corner is a super cool trade-off between Andy LaRocque and Chuck. It's unusually technical for a Death solo and will definitely put you through your paces, with some pretty furious alternate picking lines and fiddly fingerings. In true Death fashion there's a whole lot of Harmonic Minor everywhere but Andy adds some variety with some exceedingly tasty melodic passages during his part.

This is a super fun solo to jam for mid-level intermediate guitarists, with a whole lot of bars to keep you busy for a while!

Good luck and don't forget to share your progress with everyone in the Discord server!
