Let's have some fun again together this weekend :) Today, I'd like to show you 10 bad habits when it comes to Metal/Rock guitar solos - and how I personally try to overcome them!
I added the tabs and guitar pro files of all the good takes below in case you'd like to check them out! Aside from being entertaining, this video is focused on a little mental checklist I have in mind when it comes to writing/improvising solos in this style of music.
The most important topics for me are currently #1 (more creative phrasing ideas), #2 (reducing tension, especially when playing live), #5 (adding more expression to melodies), and #10 (playing interesting notes over each chord).
Which topics do you work on currently? Are they included in this list? Have a great weekend :)
