My daughter asked me to cover Ash’s guitar solo from the song “Set it All Free” from the movie “Sing,” over a year ago, so I learned it, had a bit too much fun recording it, and posted it on Instagram to pretty lukewarm results. A lot of my followers on Insta are either headbanging metalheads or serious jazzbos, so understandably, my cover of an animated porupine’s guitar solo didn’t turn too many heads… but it did on YouTube!
I’ve gotten a lot of kind words and quite a few requests for a tutorial and tab for this solo, so here it is! Scroll down for the tab.
I recorded my cover of this solo pretty quickly between lessons and missed a couple of details such as not playing the first part with a wah, playing the first melody with slightly different phrasing, and keeping the whammy set down at an 8ve up in the last measure as opposed to rocking it back and forth. These are easily changeable if you want to be 100% accurate, of course.
Once again, have fun learning this solo, and give me a shoutout if you post it on social media. I’d love to hear you play it!
