Guitar Soloing #1 Solo #2 Solo #3
Basic Guitar soloing information and techniques to get you started
Have a Listen to some of these basic Soloing Techniques
using the MP3 files below.
I am continually updating but
Some of these files, although now in MP3 format,
have been converted from the older ones
which were in Real Audio format,
so some of them sound better than others
but you will get the idea.
Pentatonic Am Scale (some of us play nothing else!)
Hammer On Pull Off Trill Slide Up Slide Down String Bending Am lick 1 Am lick 2
( A lick is a short phrase, in this case in the key of A minor)
These are newer files that you might find useful
Blues Scale/Aeolian Mode ideas
Try this new Hotdog Video
A good example of what we call a "12 Bar Blues" is "Hideaway"
(originally Freddie King, then Eric Clapton & Jeff Healey amongst others)
Learn this and you will certainly get a good grasp of the standard soloing techniques
I have done several different teaching MP3s for this so there is some duplication!
