1) MOJO WORKIN STYLE VIDEO- Video - Doug Fearman. 
Lick 8 is another "emotional" lick in that it starts off with the 1st
string, 15th fret already bent to sound as if the note was played on
the 17th fret. After a slow release bend: pull off to the 1st string,
12th fret then back to the 1st string, 15th fret with added vibrato.
The rest of the lick is relatively easy.

2) End of Song Lead ­ Video ­ Schmange
This is one of those typical "End of Song" type solos, this time
revolving around an extended E chord.

3) Lead Guitar ­ Video ­ Dr. Simon
As we have already discussed, chord progressions can be thought of in
terms of scale degrees and the key signature of the piece you are
playing determines the chord progression, since a progression can be
played in many different keys.

5) Down in a major way using open strings -  J.D. Jarrell
This is the same scale as "Comin' down in a major way, once again
you're putting the sixth note of each note you hit, before the next
note of the scale is played. The difference is that you can't move this
position up, or down the neck

6) Tap Sweep - David Farmer
Here's a cool lil trick that I learned from the AMAZING Guitwiz in the
Guitar War chat room. It's a little tapping riff that sounds like a
small sweep. He also played a sweep before which i'll show in the tab
but haven't recorded since I can't get it clean yet. Enjoy.

7) Classical Lesson 2 - "Ode To Joy" Theme in Two Voices - Christopher
Schlegel
Let's learn a melody with a bass line accompaniment! We are going to
use the melody from Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" theme. 

Remember to keep your fingertips pointed straight down into the string
& fretboard for the most leverage & best sound. Remember to arch or
curve your fingers around and over the strings to avoid muting strings
that should be ringing clearly. This will be especially important right
at the beginning of the piece!
