Hi everyone. I'm new, give me your welcome.

Anyway, i'm seriously going for a Free Bird FC: I hit solo D-end wankery 75% I play it, but I've serious problems with solo C. Any tips? Fingering? Help me!

Yeah, solo C.

I play it like 123212321, with the zigzag classic method hitting it 50% of the times.

Good luck xaby, but the race has just started...

Welcome to scorehero!

Well, read the advice on Solo C here and here for some advice.

What I do, is use a 112 fingering throughout Solo C.

etc...
21112111211121112

And GL with the Freebird FC!

EDIT:

A 123 fingering also isn't bad, except for the fact you need spazm fingers to do it properly

etc...

Why don't more people tap this solo? It's 10x more consistent for me.

I FC it almost always with zig zag tapping. Thats just tapping blue with your tapping finger and pulling off and back on with your normal fingers.

Place your index, middle, and ring of your fretting hand on a desk and roll them back and forth 123212321232123212321, slowly, but gradually increase the speed, Keeping note of whether you feel all your fingers touch the desk in the sequence of 123212321 each time. Gradually increase the speed up to Solo C's speed.

Alternatively, grab an unplugged GH guitar, and do the same thing while actually fretting the buttons.

Finally, take that practice into Gh2 practice and try the solo on slower and slow to make sure you can stay on rhythm with the notes. Then pump it up to full speed.

I have a bit of an odd way to play it that might work. I've heard a few people do it for the zigzag in Bim Solo C(?), might work here as well.

32123123123

Basically, you could try playing it as ascending triplets, with ghost

and

notes every other triplet. Personally, I like the 3212 method myself, but you could always give this a go and see what happens.
