toymaker Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 (edited) There's not much to the Subdivisions solo. Also, I remember working out "No One at the Bridge" when I hadn't been playing guitar for that long, and I think I got it mostly right. The Trees is fairly easy to work out. The first part of the first La Villa solo (before it gets fast) is fun to play. The solo for Here Again is very fun to play.

TFEman Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 In The Mood is really easy. I also like the Dreamline solo, especially because Alex pretty much imporvises when they play it live, so really if you learn the part from the album version, you could just build on that and improv.

HemiBeers Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Bravado and Driven are easy. Driven is about 6 screaming notes...the rest of the song is harder than the solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Analog Cub Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Subdivisions will get you started. Not much to it, just a few notes, some harmonics, and a couple chords to wrap it up. Simple and tasteful. Another simple one is Dreamline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HemiBeers Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Generally speaking, start at the first album and work your way forward and you'll get more challenging songs as Al developed his playing style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I agree with that. I can't play parts of the Working Man solo - I just don't have the chops - but I can work out and play some of the more minimal solos that are more based on chord shapes that he played with later, like on Grace Under Pressure. For example. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WavesandWindows Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I find the bluesy Intro solo to The Way The Wind Blows fairly simplistic. Shouldn't have too much trouble with Closer to the Heart either. Subdivisions, maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HemiBeers Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Actually the first short solo of 2112 is pretty easy as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JARG Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Having not tried to play all the solos, I can't say which is the easiest, but In the Mood is one of the easier ones I've played. Cold Fire, which sounds easy, has always kicked my ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psionic11 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 The Pass The Garden Open Secrets (not as hard as Limelight) Xanadu has all kinds of guitar stuff in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
