Hey,

Im currently at the stage, where all of my soloing sounds like scales/bluesy which is very simplistic.

I started off using the minor penationic scale pattern below, and then adding teh next pattern to it.

|-0-|---|---|-0-|
|-0-|---|---|-0-|
|-0-|---|-0-|---|
|-0-|---|-0-|---|
|-0-|---|-0-|---|
|-0-|---|---|-0-|

Problem is, everytime i try to improvise, everything sounds the same.
I was looking around, and saw a lot of guitarists talking of hitting a wall between simple improv(liek mine), and going onto making a guitar squeel like mad (i.e. end solo in nov. rain) :)

I just wondered if anyone had any tips?
Is there a better scales to use?
anything atall would be great :)


Thanks

Timedout.
