A good solo should have a sense of movement.

Ariel Posen approaches it as its own piece of music within the song. It may only last four bars, or it may stretch for several minutes, but the goal remains the same: bring the listener along and make each phrase feel connected to the next.

Knowing scales and modes can help, but that knowledge does not automatically create a meaningful solo. The real work is deciding why each note is there and where the complete idea is heading.

Do you think about the full shape of a solo while you are playing, or discover it one phrase at a time?

Robben Ford remembers music as the main thing he cared about growing up.

He describes himself as a bit of a loner who spent a lot of time listening and absorbing music. He played saxophone and guitar, and regularly sang in a church choir, where music also became a shared experience.

Then the ’60s opened up an entirely new world.

Jimi Hendrix, Mike Bloomfield, Eric Clapton, Steve Cropper, rhythm and blues, and groove music were all developing at an incredible pace. Robben was listening closely, and those sounds became part of the musician he would eventually become.

Andy Timmons can play virtually anything, yet he almost always chooses the most musical option over the flashiest one. Melody, bending, and that singing lead tone. https://f.mtr.cool/hswsil66da

When you are the only guitarist in the band, there are only so many parts you can cover at once.

Matthew Lee calls the decision-making process “gas and brake.” Start with the recording as your template, identify the parts that make the song recognizable, and decide how much extra movement you can confidently execute live.

The rhythm part comes first because nobody else is there to cover it.

Once that foundation is solid, you can add fills, alternate voicings, and other small details to keep the arrangement interesting.

Those extras are the icing. The rhythm is still the cake.

When learning a live arrangement, how do you decide which guitar parts are essential?

Gary Moore’s technique did not always follow the expected fi*****ng rules.

In this TrueFire Live highlight, Rob Garland explains how Moore used all four fingers for fast rock lines, often relying on 1-2-4 and 1-3-4 patterns.

He also had no problem bending with his pinky or choosing his second finger where another player might use the third. The fi*****ngs could be unorthodox, but they gave Moore the speed, control, and expression the phrase required.

Do you actively train your pinky, or does it still avoid the hard work?
