How Do The Pro's Build A Solo On Guitar

how to solo Nov 06, 2022

When soloing, as guitarists it is very easy for us to fall into the temptation of just running through scales without any logical thought behind. Guitar is a very shape based instrument.

However, to write perfect solos every single time we need to know a little more than just the key and the scale we’ll use. We want to sound coherent, we want to sound great. And in this video you’ll learn a few things you need to keep in mind every time you solo or improvise.

How to learn guitar solos?

how to solo Oct 22, 2022

I was never very big in learning other guitarists solos. I can't ever remember sitting down and learning note-by-note of a solo. Rather, I learn the structure of the solo, how it starts, how it develops and how it ends. Learn also the key parts that make that solo amazing. But I never learn note-by-note.

But why is it so important for guitarists to learn other guitarists' solos?

More important than learning note-by-note of a solo, is to learn what is the thought behind it, the techniques and the main ideas that you can borrow to implemento on your own vocabulary. It is to make your guitar playing better that you learn other guitarists solos, and not for the sake of copying someone's music abilities.

In this video I’ll show you an example of a solo I learned (not note-by-note) and how I used to shape my own playing.
