can anyone give me some tips on soloing? Ive been learning some scales and i cant do much with them. I have some licks but im just not satisfied with my progress. I dont consider myself a beginner, I can play texas flood by stevie ray vaughan and other songs on that level of difficulty; just to give you an idea of my skill level. Im just having a hard time when it comes to coming up with my own stuff. It would be greatly appreciated if someone can offer some advice. I was listening to mark knopfler and i think he helped me realize my problem. My playing lacks melody.

i cant play the entire song. only parts of it. the parts i know really arent that hard. but i know it gets a lot harder. The technical/mechanical side of guitar playing is the easy part, well not really, its very hard; but the creative side is what is really hard.

I didnt mean to come off as a dick. I just meant that some of the song perceived as easy are not, and are all about your dynamics/feel not hitting hte correct notes.

I have to disagree with this a little. I would say its 100% about the notes you hit and 100% about the way its played. If you play the perfect notes without feeling, then its one dimensional and sounds lacking. Then if you play all the wrong notes with all feeling, well it just will sound mangled and awkward to most people for almost every genre of music. You gotta do both.

I don't worry about scales when playing, I just know which note to press and play to get the sound that I want and then I play from the gut. To get there, you need to have some musicality like an ability to come up with the melodies you want to play and then just a lot of practice so that you know by instinct how and where to find the sounds you want. If you're smart, read some theory, but I definetly think you can get far by just playing - a lot.
So, I'd say just pop on your favourite songs and try to solo on top of them. Have fun with it ![]() edit : And don't forget there are tons of instruction videos on youtubes! You can probably pick up a lot of stuff there, like how to shred, blues licks or gypsy jazz chords.
