This is the solo for JB's new song, Love Bug. It's not too hard, you just gotta
know the technique. It's played in unison, which means it's played twice on the
record - two guitars on top of eachother, playing the same thing, so you MAY not
get the exact sound. However, if you play it with distortion, reverb, vibrato
and the occasional pitch harmonic - you can get it to sound right.
The main thing to this solo is vibrato,as with any solo on the new album. You can
find out more about vibrato by googling it or checking it out on youtube. It's a
technique. I added v's in the tab to signify vibrato. Theres a lot of it. The first
part is correct, the second part isn't exact but it is proper and will sound great with it.
I'll update the tab with the exact notes for the second part sometime soon. I'll also
upload a video soon.
To those who says its wrong, you don't know what you're doing. If you know the TECHNIQUE,
you can do this and it'll sound right.
Play the whole thing twice.

You don't know anything about guitar. First off, Kevin doesn't play this solo. John Taylor, the lead guitarist in the backup band plays it. I'm sure Kevin could play it, but he doesn't. Kevin plays the power chords. Second, you obviously know nothing about the guitar - things can be played in different areas on the neck and sound the exact same. It's musical theory. Second, this tab is not wrong. If you knew how to actually play a proper solo you'd know the proper bending technique and vibrato technique and you'd play it with the song and realize its correct. Do I need to show you a video of me playing it?

Vibrato
Your vibrato can be defined as your touch or feel as you play. How you vibrato the notes you play can often define you as a guitarist and help to differentiate you from everyone else. For example take Yngwie Malmsteen with his super wide vibrato and then Steve Vai with a much more smooth and controlled sound. You can tell the two apart instantly. In fact I'd go as far as to say you could have them both play the same passage of music and you'd be able to tell the difference, even when playing the same notes.
Vibrato is varying the pitch of a note as you hold it to give a vocal like quality and expression to your playing. The amount and the speed at which you vibrato the note is entirely down to personal preference, so really just experiment with everything you can think of. Try everything and see what you think sounds best. As a test, try playing a melody with some light vibrato. Then play again but don't vibrato a single note. The time without vibrato will often sound rather lifeless and uninteresting. It is an important technique to work on as once you have it down you'll sound like a real guitarist and not a beginner anymore.
When I vibrato notes the motion generally comes from the wrist. I try not to overdo it and generally let the mood of the music decide how aggressively I vibrato the note. There isn't really a steadfast way to teach vibrato, I found the best method was to simply watch my favourite guitar players as they played and pick up techniques as I went along until I settled on a sound I felt comfortable with.
Try some songs from Yngwie Malmsteen, Steve Vai and BB King to get a good idea of some different vibrato sounds.
