Tuning: D Standard (D G C F A D)
Took on one of my all-time favorite Alexi Laiho solos, "Not My Funeral" by Children of Bodom. This has been on my list for years but I never got around to it for whatever reason, nice to finally cross it off! Super fun to run through, and perfectly composed by Alexi-great sense of melody, flashiness, and taste.
Decided to provide another scrolling tab video for those of you out there who want to try this one for yourself! I'm currently available for private lessons if you're interested in learning songs/solos like this, as well as working on ear training, music theory, songwriting, technique, and more. Send me an email at the address above to set one up!

So jealous lol, you have perfect hands for shredding

[@LukasOfner]

Do you know what's even more important than "perfect hands"?
Daily practice ;)

[@martinkingston1498]

Great playing Chris. By the way, is that an Esp EII Horizon? If you wouldn't mind answering, how would you rate it's neck and overall body layout for ease of playing faster styles of music. Both this guitar and the ESP EII MII are supposed to be great guitars, but depending on where you live it can be hard to try them out in person. Any feedback appreciated.

[@ChrisJonesGuitarist]

Thanks dude! It's actually a Schecter Blackjack SLS haha. Never tried an E-II personally, but I've heard only good things about them!

[@martinkingston1498]

@@ChrisJonesGuitarist Hi Chris, sorry for the delay in replying, your response didn't come up in my notifications. TH-cam eh. That Schecter really does look like a great guitar, the Jeff Loomis model was another great one. The curse of having too much choice these days! Really fantastic playthrough of one of Alexi's best solos too. Even though the Relentless album was slated by a lot of Bodom fans, I personally thought it had some of Alexl's finest guitar work. Shovel Knockout is another brilliant one. Keep up the great work.
