"Ace Of Spades" (Motorhead) Solo Lesson/Analysis
Added 2025-06-10 13:09:21 +0000 UTCI've been bombarding y'all with some pretty advanced stuff recently so I figured it's time to briefly chill and provide something for our less experienced brethren!
The solo to this classic tune consists of very straightforward fingerings and patterns, making it a perfect introduction to lead playing. There's also a good amount of 3/4-step bending and some syncopation in the rhythms, which will most likely provide a lil' bit of a challenge for fresh-faced guitarists.
Good luck and don't forget to share your progress with everyone in the Discord server!

I have recently been wanting to learn a Motörhead song or two, the timing of this post couldn't have been better, ha! Wonderful tutorial! :)

2025-06-12 20:27:18 +0000 UTCI usually start the solo with the A played on the open A String. I find it easier this way to play the slightly bent D on the 5th fret of the A string which follows. But there is certainly no wrong or right. It‘s just an option that feels more natural to me. Great transcription of a very cool tune! Thanks.
