#168 - The 10 WORST Metal Guitar Solos (and how to fix them)
Added 2021-05-07 14:00:07 +0000 UTCLet's have some fun again together this weekend :) Today, I'd like to show you 10 bad habits when it comes to Metal/Rock guitar solos - and how I personally try to overcome them!
I added the tabs and guitar pro files of all the good takes below in case you'd like to check them out! Aside from being entertaining, this video is focused on a little mental checklist I have in mind when it comes to writing/improvising solos in this style of music.
The most important topics for me are currently #1 (more creative phrasing ideas), #2 (reducing tension, especially when playing live), #5 (adding more expression to melodies), and #10 (playing interesting notes over each chord).
Which topics do you work on currently? Are they included in this list? Have a great weekend :)

2021-05-09 01:36:59 +0000 UTCHahaha brilliant. Love the facials! LOL. IMO Definitely one of the most important is use of vibrato and bends for expressive playing with feeling! Well worth training to get right

2021-05-07 14:26:24 +0000 UTCYou sure know how to pile on the homework, Maestro! Each lesson is like getting a drink from a fire hydrant! Lol
2021-05-07 14:20:12 +0000 UTC#1, #5 and trying to work on #10. All 3 are difficult with a limited vocabulary, knowing one half of an arpeggio and limited skills on technique
