The Six Solos:
Everything you need to play and understand
these solos.
Phrasing breakdown, tabs and notation, backing tracks, Guitar Pro files, and an interactive video player with synced tabs / notation.
Full phrasing breakdowns
For each solo, I walk you through every phrasing decision: why this bend, why that vibrato, why I held back here, why I let it explode there.
Tabs & notation
Accurate transcriptions of every solo. Tabs + standard notation, fully marked up with phrasing details - slides, bends, whammy dips, accents.
Soundslice video player
Interactive notation synced to real recordings. Click any note to jump there. Drag across to loop. Slow it down without changing pitch.
Backing tracks
Studio-quality backing tracks for every solo so you can play along, jam over them, or use them to record your own versions.
Guitar Pro files
Every solo as a .gp file you can drop into Guitar Pro to slow down, loop, transpose, and study at your own pace.
My exact tone settings
Download my exact plugin patches for both the clean and heavy sections so you can dial in a similar sound.
The Phrasing Breakdown
Most courses teach the notes.
This one teaches the why.
The majority of this course focuses on the phrasing of the notes.
How I articulate each note and phrase, how I create tension and release,
how I add stylistic tricks, and the WHY behind all these decisions.
"
The notes are pretty straightforward. It's just basic licks. What actually makes these sound the way they do is the phrasing —
when I use vibrato, when I don't, how I enter a note, how I leave it, when I hold back, when I let it explode.
— ROY ZIV
— 01
Bar-by-bar walkthrough
I go through each phrase and call out exactly what's happening - and why it works against each specific track.
— 02
Why this, why not that
Every choice is explained. Why a slide here instead of a hammer-on. Why this note gets vibrato and the next one doesn't.
— 03
Pattern recognition
The same phrasing ideas repeat across all six solos. By the end you'll start hearing them and recognizing them on your own.
— 04
Build a vocabulary
You walk away with a phrasing toolbox you can use in any solo, in any genre. Not just these six.

Who Is Solo School 2.0 For ?
Solo School is not for everyone. I created this for a very specific type of guitarist:
Passionate Guitarists
You can't picture your life without a guitar.
NOT a beginner
You’ve been playing for years or decades - on and off - but still feel stuck
Want to Sound Expressive
You want phrasing, feel, melody, and emotion—but don’t know how to get there.
Overwhelmed by Information
You’ve learned scales, theory, licks, solos… but none of it sticks when you play.
Still Struggling to Improvise
When it’s time to solo, you fall back on the same ideas, same old licks.
Need a Clear, focused Plan
You crave feedback and accountability. You wish someone would show you exactly what to practice to sound musical
"This course reduced the stress of trying to 'figure it out', boosted my confidence,
and made playing much more fun! "
-Dave Rider
If you want structure, feedback, guidance, and a community that keeps you inspired, Solo School 2.0 was built for you.
Solo School 2.0 isn't a random lesson or lick library. It’s a brand new approach that trains phrasing, note choice, chord tone targeting, and musical instincts through:
Weekly Guided Challenges
Personalized Feedback
Live Zoom calls
The most supportive guitar community
What Makes Solo School 2.0 Different?
Other memberships brag about “hundreds of hours” of lessons and endless topics. But more content doesn’t make you better—it overwhelms you, scatters your focus, and leaves you guessing what to do next.
Other Memberships:
Massive Content Libraries
Hundreds of random lessons across dozens of topics. It’s overwhelming, with no clear starting point or finish line.
Choose Your Own Path
Some memberships offer multiple pathways, “custom plans,” and more options. Too many starting points create confusion, and you waste more time choosing than improving.
Practice On Your Own
They show you what to practice, then leave you to figure out how long, how often, and when to move on. The responsibility is all on you, while hoping you’re not wasting time.
No Real Feedback
If feedback exists, it’s vague, inconsistent, and comes from random instructors—not coaches aligned to a single system.
Dead Community
Ghost-town forums or Facebook groups with zero engagement. No one to support you, keep you accountable, or celebrate wins with you. No sense of community.
No Direct Access
You’re just another username. No connection with the people behind the program, the coaches, or the community.
Solo School 2.0 :
Structured, Step-by-step
Although you’ll have access to my entire library of courses and lessons—that’s not the point of Solo School. The real power is in the single, clear, step-by-step training path that helps you master melodic soloing.
One Clear Path
ONE proven path with ONE clear goal: to help you improvise melodic solos with pro-level phrasing over any chord progression. Every lesson builds on the last, so you’re never guessing what to do next.
Plug & Play, Follow-along Practice
Hit play, and follow the step-by-step exercises with on-screen instructions, moving dots, clear diagrams, and built-in backing tracks. All you need to do, is follow along.
Feedback Aligned to One System
Every critique follows the same proven method—so your progress is consistent. Coaches are trained in the Solo School feedback system, and even the community gives feedback based on the exact same principles. Get clear, actionable advice that works.
An Active, Supportive Community
Members log in daily to share solos, exchange ideas, talk about gear, and help each other improve. You’ll never feel alone, and you might even make a few friends.
Direct Access to me, Roy Ziv!
Ask me questions anytime inside Solo School and join live coaching calls with me twice a month.
No generic advice. No fluff. No overwhelm. No guessing.
Solo School has ONE mission:
Help you improvise melodic solos with confidence and pro-sounding phrasing.
Everything else—speed, technique, scales, theory—is just a bonus.
One goal. One clear path.
That’s what makes us different.
Meet Your Instructor
Hi, I’m Roy Ziv, and for over a decade, I’ve helped thousands of guitarists improve their technique, and play with confidence.
With over a million combined followers on Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok, my work has been featured in Guitar World Magazine and MusicRadar, and I’ve had the privilege of being a guest speaker at Berklee College of Music for their Global Connections talk.
I've created hundreds of solos for social media over the years, but out of all those solos, the Dark Nursery Rhymes are my absolute favourites.
The solos were really popular amongst my followers, and hundreds of guitarists asked me for the tabs and backing tracks.
So here it is, including a breakdown of all my phrasing techniques.
I really hope you enjoy playing these solos as much as I enjoyed writing them.

"I feel like Roy is MY guitar teacher"
"Roy's Solo School is a really great place to study guitar. Roy clearly cares about his students, and he is a fantastic teacher with an excellent ear to immediately pick out weaknesses in your playing.
His advice has really helped me build better soloing technique. Solo School not only has a wealth of practice videos and courses, but also nice tools to upload media files and videos for Roy to review and comment on.
It also has a growing community of students, who are happy to talk about their playing technique as well as guitars, gear, and even recent events they've attended.
Perhaps most importantly, in Solo School, I feel like Roy is my guitar teacher. I can ask questions, get advice, and learn from one of the most impressive guitarists in the world."
- Eddy (Solo School student since September 2024)
