Black Label Shred

By Zakk Wylde

JTC Says - The backing riff is built from G5 and A5 chords over a repeating E bass note, and Zakk interprets this as
an E blues setting. Apart from the harmonic trill effects at the beginning, his licks are all based around E minor
pentatonic (E G A B D), but he also adds C# and G# notes to suggest E major pentatonic (E F# G# B C#) or
Mixolydian (E F# G# A B C# D). In measures 7-8 he uses a symmetrical shape to create some outside sounds.
