Justin Hawkins Is A Guitar Genius And Nobody Told Me!

The outro solo from "I Believe In A Thing Called Love" by ‪@TheActualDarkness‬ is one of the best rock solos of the 2000s - and some people don't even know it exists. @JustinHawkinsRidesAgain plays something here that sounds like it was lifted straight from a 1978 arena stage. In this episode of Solos That Rule, I play the outro solo, with TAB, and dig into the licks that make it work - from a blues phrase that keeps surprising you, to a closing run that should sound familiar to any fan of 70s and 80s rock. There's also a quick Dan Hawkins story that completely changed how I think about this band. 🎸 Solos That Rule — Episode 8 🔥 Watch more Solos That Rule:    • Solos That Rule   🎸 Quick guitar lessons:    • Quick Guitar Lessons   ☕ Support the channel (totally optional!): Buy me a coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/owenvickersg... 🤘 Subscribe for more quick guitar lessons and solo breakdowns 👇 What solo should I do next?
