Hi...I'm not a very fast player so I've had no choice but to try to build the emotional style of soloing...I find it really helpful to forget about scales sometimes and just fiddle about until I find a lick that works over the chord progressions...combining that with what everyone else has mentioned about slides bends and vibrato it's not that hard to come up with slower but interesting stuff...

Check out a few of my tracks on my bandmix profile...no shredding but as much emotion as I can muster...!!!
