How To Write Great Guitar Solos That Grab People By The Throat And MAKE Them Love Your Guitar Playing!
Have you ever tried writing your own guitar solos but find yourself struggling to make them really awesome because your guitar solo ideas really just sound like a bunch of licks strung together? The solo tends to sound more like you are just going from one idea to another idea - something is missing, your guitar solo is simply not "truly jaw dropping great"! You probably already know how to play some cool guitar licks and maybe can even play other people's songs and guitar solos, but when you try to create your own it's just not as good as you had hoped.
Think about your lead guitar playing as it is right now… some parts of it probably sound pretty good (or at least 'ok'), but other parts of it are not good enough (otherwise you wouldn't still be reading this)… now think about your favorite singers… do they sing as 'fast' than you can play? No… Do they sing with more notes than you play in your leads? No… If we take out all the words and make your favorite singer sing 'la la la', it would STILL sound great, right? It's not about 'the sound' of their voice, it's about what they 'do' with their voice that makes a singer great.
The good news is, every single thing the best singers do, YOU CAN DO on your guitar!
Great singers are great for many reasons, but the three main reasons are these:
1. They choose the right note to sing in the right moment.
2. They have become masters at connecting one note to the next note.
3. They are great at ornamenting important notes with vibrato and glissandos.
Can we (as guitar players) learn to do all of these things? YES! In fact, your favorite guitar players are already doing it!
Doesn't your favorite guitar player:
1. Choose the right note to play in the right moment?
2. Connect one note to the next note in a really cool way?
3. Ornament important notes with vibrato and glissandos (string bends for example) in really awesome ways?
Here's the big problem:
Guitar players like yourself find it very hard to learn how to do these things by listening to great guitar players. Why? Because there are so many different things to listen for in your favorite guitar solos, there are often fast parts and other things being played that naturally distract your attention from the CORE elements that make the playing truly great. However, when you listen to a great singer, NONE of those other elements are there to distract you! You basically only hear good note choices, excellent connection between the notes and great ornamentation of notes in a very easy-to-hear way.
When great singers sing, every single note is important… it has to be because there is a word (or part of a word) on each note sung, plus, unlike guitar players, singers can't sing notes fast, so each sound stands out more and can't afford to be 'unimportant'. Because of these facts, singers are focused on the micro level, they are forced to make every note matter.
Most guitar players don't think in this way, instead they think in terms of licks, riffs and other groups of notes. This happens because guitar players can play faster and there is often little time to be concerned about the expression of each note. They approach guitar solos on the macro level. Great guitar players think in both ways at the same time. And that is exactly what you should do.
The next problem is, virtually all guitar teachers (and instructional products and videos) teach lead guitar by having you learn about all the guitar techniques, scales, arpeggios, licks, picking, etc. etc. They don't ever seem to get straight to the core of what makes a great guitar player great. Instead, you should be listening to great singers FIRST and then learning how to use the basic elements of great singing into the basic elements of great guitar playing... because they are EXACTLY THE SAME!
…So, if it's that simple, why doesn't everyone do it?
3 reasons:
1. Most teachers and students don't really know exactly what to listen for.
2. Virtually all teachers and students also don't know how to take the important elements of great vocal melodies and transform them into great guitar playing. Instead, what happens is they end up simply repeating a slow vocal melody without understanding how to integrate the vocal ideas with all the other guitar techniques, notes and sounds that are needed to create great guitar solos.
3. Virtually all teachers and students simply never discovered this secret to create guitar solos that are "truly jaw dropping great" instead of just playing a bunch of guitar licks.
What if you had an expert guitar teacher and a great singer (Fabio Lione - Rhapsody Of Fire) to show you exactly what you need to do? What if they broke everything down for you so that you can really see, hear and understand how singers think and how to apply that to your guitar solos, right before your eyes? What if they then showed you real life examples of how each vocal melody element was integrated with each guitar soloing element so that you understand clearly how all of this really works so you can actually use it yourself?

"The How to Write Great Guitar Solos Master Class is mind blowing."
Most guitar players have often overlooked the importance of great singing concepts and guitar solo concepts that make a guitarist's solo truly stand out. I have always adored solos in such songs like 'Sweet Child O’ Mine', 'To Be With You', 'Lydian Speaks', 'For The Love Of God', and 'Always With Me Always With You'. These solos all use different techniques and unique ways to create their solos, however after studying 'How to Write Great Guitar Solos Master Class' with Mr. Hess I have come to understand that all of those great guitarists have re-occurring fundamental concepts
that hold true in each of the solos. Mr. Hess helps the student to understand these fundamental concepts in this master class, concepts such as dynamics, vibrato, vocal pitches, pitch range, and much more.
It helped me to understand how to make and play guitar solos in different ways by applying Mr. Hess's singing concepts in my playing. Great guitar techniques are good but with Mr. Hess's singing concepts you will become 10 times better than before. This master class really helped me to make my guitar sing more than ever.
