Meaning of the Solo

Do you know how spring time in Denmark feels? – Neither do I

Harmonic analysis: For this, I write the chords again side by side and add the thirds and fifths in the lines below:

Akkord | F# | B  | G | D  | A  |
Terz   | A# | D  | B | F# | C# |
Quinte | C# | F# | D | A  | E  |

Now I sort the tones in the order of their occurrence: B C# D E F# G A A A#

You see we have a little problem because A and A# occur together, so we cannot determine the key to 100%.

It could be a natural minor (A) as well as a harmonic minor (A#). Bummer, what do we do now?

We choose a natural minor and only bring the A# when the F# major chord comes in. Done!

We start with an F# major arpeggio at the 9th fret and play to the target note D (third of Bm) in bar 2.

Then we bring in some nice syncopation again. Target notes are G and D (root and fifth of G major).

As well as F# and G (third and fourth of D major), and C# (third of A major).

We repeat the theme from bars 1 and 2, but spice up the target tone D with a trill (fast hammer-on/pull-off).

Then we increase the tension with the 12th position. Target notes D as before and E (fifth of A major).

A few smooth bendings over F# major with the target notes F# and C#, over B minor F# and D.

Then alternate picking with the complete B minor scale.

Triolic sweep picking with F# major arpeggio, and a small run with target F#.

Then it continues in triplets with B minor down to the target note B in bar 16. And that’s it
