I've noticed that this is one of the main topics in this forum.

Well the way I do it (as I've mentioned before) is to play it as I hear it in my head.

This is one I made yesterday.

It's a bit rough with the odd duff note, but it's only a bit of fun - not a masterwork.

I like solos that are fresh and not overworked (or in this case straight off - first take).

This is my idea on how to construct a solo by using the same method you use when you whistle or hum to yourself. I didn't consider scales or modes or even chords. It's all done in the brain - and I'm the first person to hear it.
