Miracle Man

Miracle Man kicks off with an aggressive stance. The solo here blends Zakk's love for pentatonic runs with pinched harmonics and whammy-bar tricks, adding vibrancy and expression. This lesson delves deep into his combination of alternate picking and legato to achieve that smooth yet biting sound.

No More Tears

One of Wylde's most iconic solos, 'No More Tears' offers a blend of melodic beauty and raw energy. It incorporates double-stop bends that add thickness to the lead lines. His use of the Dorian mode adds a touch of mystery to the sound, and the intricate arpeggios in the latter half demonstrate Zakk's mastery over the fretboard.

Devils Daughter

A showcase of Wylde's blend of rock and eastern influences, 'Devils Daughter' offers a unique scale: the Phrygian dominant. This lesson breaks down the syncopated rhythms and chromaticism that give this solo its distinctive flair.

Breaking All The Rules

This track demonstrates Zakk's deep-rooted love for the blues, fused with hard rock sensibilities.

The Mixolydian mode lends a dominant seventh feel, adding a touch of unpredictability to the progression.

Mama I'm Coming Home

Perhaps one of Wylde's most melodically rich solos, 'Mama I'm Coming Home' stands as a testament to his versatility. The use of the major scale offers a sense of hope and nostalgia. This lesson intricately breaks down the octave melodies and double-stops that add layers to the soundscape.
