How to improve your guitar solos

Guitar solos 101: 10 quick steps to get you started

 

If you’re a beginner looking to plunge into the guitar-shredding world; or an intermediate guitar player wanting to go to the next level, I’m here for you.

Soloing is a fundamental part of playing the guitar. It doesn’t matter what music genre you play and prefer: learning how to solo, whether through studied practice and automated moves or improvisation, is only a matter of mixing and matching guitar techniques anyone can learn.
