Don't you know the feeling of playing a boring solo? Especially in a regular 12 bar blues. It feels like there is not a whole lot of different moves that you can do. I have been thinking of ways to make things more interesting. Do you have any ideas on that?
Also, how do you practice playing an improvised solo OVER the chord progression. Landing and passing cool notes on the different licks and tricks.
The feeling that you get when a simple song goes into some different progression when the solo comes around. For example in this track.

This is a killer way of creating a solo i think, that feels special by simply just changing chords in the solo section. I miss this kind of feeling when playing sometimes.
I just want to know how i can spice up my solos so that it's not only just the same blues scale and minor/major scale licks. Landing on sexy notes. Also i want to be better at identifying what scales i can actually use over that particular progression. How do i for example see what modes i can use over a particular progression.
Also a thing im working on, is blending minor and major blues scales notes. For example if the song key is in E minor and you play a solo using the E minor blues scale. How do i know when i can mix some major notes in there? check this solo as a perfect example of this. Link below

The solo starts of in E minor Blues, and i think it contains some Dorian notes aswell, Slash usually does that. And later in the solo it moves into major.
Any thoughts on this subject. I hope you feel what i mean. How do i identify what i can do solo/scale wise.
