In this video I discuss different things relating to playing these kinds of solos. This video is quite lengthy and would suggest you take the time to watch it so that you can ask the right questions to further your playing. In this video I am using a Bouzouki made by Christos Tsolis. Hope you enjoy the video and look forward to your comments and feedback.
