Its Uncle Ben Eller here with the secrets of how Vito Bratta of White Lion played some of the most memorable and melodic solos of the 80's!!! In this video, we dissect his legendary solo from the sickly sweet ballad "When the Children Cry". I'm gonna give you a lick by lick lesson on how to play it, then we're gonna dive headfirst into the theory and harmony behind why it sounds so darn good! If you've ever wanted to write more melodic solos, this video is for you! Thanks to Mike from @The-Art-of-Guitar for asking me to be a part of his 50 Best Hair Metal Solos video and getting me to learn this one! Be sure to watch the whole video on his channel!
