1. Armed And Ready

A rocking tune that is a testament to Schenker's ability to blend melody with sheer power. The scales used prominently here are the Minor Pentatonic and the Mixolydian mode. The solo is embellished with vibrato, quick alternate picking runs, and intense string-bending that screams emotion.

2. Only You Can Rock Me

This song offers a groove-laden backdrop against which Schenker launches into another iconic solo. Dipping into the Dorian mode, the song features double-stops and mesmerizing legato runs that show Schenker's fluidity on the fretboard.

A melodic masterpiece that’s harmonically rich. Predominantly using the Major scale, the solo is adorned with pinched harmonics, slides, and intricate chord progressions, providing a great exercise for developing expressiveness.
