Don't make the same mistake so many others make while playing lead guitar solos.
Mistake:
Spending all your time working on technique, getting faster and memorizing new licks or patterns but never really learning the best way to use these things to express yourself musically.
After teaching guitar for multiple decades, I’ve come across many students in this frustrating situation.
So, what is the best way to play solos that use your skills as musically as possible?
