Dio – Rainbow in the Dark Guitar Solo TAB
Rainbow in the Dark Guitar Solo Tab is a great study in classic metal lead playing. The solo blends strong phrasing, wide bends, fast runs, and confident vibrato. So, it is a great piece for players who want more control, energy, and feel in their solos.
Vivian Campbell’s lead work in this solo is sharp, melodic, and aggressive. It also pushes your timing, articulation, and picking accuracy. Because of that, this is an excellent solo to break down note by note.
