Some old-school pentatonic goodness, courtesy of the new Soilwork record, Övergivenheten! Really loving the songwriting on it, and Bjorn's vocals really stand out to me as well. As far as this solo, I like the restraint that was used; Soilwork's lead guitarist (Sylvain Coudret, I believe?) certainly can shred, but he kept this one pretty simple, chose his notes carefully. Mostly just standard minor pentatonic, but I enjoyed his brief foray into the parallel Dorian mode, and how he works in notes from the natural minor scale too.
Tab included since I've found this to be a great solo to go through with my students, and figured some of you might appreciate it as well! Tuning is B standard.
Enjoy, and for those of you who actually read what I write here, thanks as always.
