Members codek Posted February 11, 2010 Members Posted February 11, 2010 Is there a website or videos which show the best and fastest way to play easy melodic solo's that mimic the vocal melody of the song?
Members Jesse G Posted February 11, 2010 Members Posted February 11, 2010 Learn the vocal melody of the song on guitar and then play something like it?
Members Pine Apple Slim Posted February 11, 2010 Members Posted February 11, 2010 um, 1. Sing a few notes, then find the notes on the guitar.2. Sing a few more notes of the melody.3. Find said notes on guitar.And so on. You dont need a website or video to do this.

Members 1001gear Posted February 12, 2010 Members Posted February 12, 2010 gong Kidding. It absolutely is good stuff to learn. There are important compositional and aesthetic subtleties that make a melody work. (Compare to all the dead spots in everybody's solos) Most 'melodic' players don't bother with good melodies. They blow lines and hopefully some style. They may lack the feel for it entirely. Not to worry though, songwriters have thoughtfully applied their finest abilities and included the meoldies as standard equipment. Simply copy.
Members Orange Jackson Posted February 12, 2010 Members Posted February 12, 2010 I think the best way to learn to solo is by using a loop pedal. Record a chord progression in a key, let it loop, and then work on soloing over that progression. You can let a simple progression loop for 30 minutes and you can just get lost in phrasing and working different modes of the scale. I think 30 seconds of loop capability is about as short as you want to go when buying a looping pedal. Excellent way to practice leads. Another good way it to use any recording device and just play along to it. The beauty of the loop is that it just keeps going on and on, and you can really dig very deeply down into the solo, like a meditation.

Members Jasco Posted February 12, 2010 Members Posted February 12, 2010 got that. what do I after I get good at that? can i move onto incoporating some harmonies? Just focus on getting good at that first. A lot of times the 'what if' questions take care of themselves when you start applying some elbow grease.
