When i'm making a solo for a song. I sit down at my computer, record the backing track with rythm guitar and drum computer and then play on, measure for measure I create the solo. When the chord changes are not to difficult I make a loop so i can see in what measure i am. I have allways the restriction of a number of bars. It's really fun to do, in the end there are allways certain passages i have to work on. At the time of playing i do not think of modes etc. however I play them i think. Allways trying to put something original in it. Mostly in one evening the solo is ready. I write it all down so I won't forget it a week later. When i play it live and i feel good i go beyond this solo, when i'm not in shape i use the basic solo.
How create other guitarists their solos and play it live?
Is it an idea for the tricks? Contribute your solo with backing track.
