I know this kinda thing can take a lifetime, but i want to ask anyway, how do you improve your soloing, and not just a little... I wonna be able to say that ''I can make a solo'', and a good one to say the least!?
I been sitting alot lately with my metronome doing 3 notes per string runs and hammer on pull off drills, and all of that stuff. But the thing is, technically im improving. I know that! But i have a hard time integrating (sorry for my spelling) the new consepts and runs and small tricks and scales and whatever, into the solos i am capable of doing now. when i try do them in my solos, i completely stops after the first new little detail i am not used to, like i can't get both my fingers and my head to improvise any more :confused: . And the ''new'' stuff that i try to put in, does not even seem to fit in soundwise, even though it's notes in the scale? Im so used to the pentatonic and the blues scale that i can hardly solo in other scales. And i have a hard time moving from places to places on the fretboard, can this be fixed?
This will prolly take some years? I quess its' a matter of experience?
Am i wrong? Been playing for a little more than 1 year, (but please don't think that im just a rookie, iv not been doing much else than play this last year!)
