Hi, I'm Anders from Stockholm! I bought my first electric and started playing seriously about five years ago. With two small children practice time is scarce, and I often have more time posting on my blog OSIRIS GUITAR than actually playing guitar. I have a masters degree in computer science so my approach to guitar playing is very digital - so ask me about amp modeling and DAWs, not about vintage Marshalls :-D.
I'm currently struggling with solos, so I look forward to learning a lot about lead playing. --------------------  |

QUOTE (Cosmin Lupu @ Jan 21 2013, 10:11 AM)  Hello Anders! Welcome to GMC! We are always glad to help out so please let us know what exactly are you interested in about solos Some recordings would help enormously Cosmin Thanks! My biggest gripe is getting lead play to flow effortlessly, everything feels forced somehow and like it's a mechanic block (my finger just don't move fast enough). For me there's this breakpoint where a song is suddenly in my fingers instead of a concious effort. You know, when you can play stuff relaxed and without looking at the fretboard. I always get there with rhythm with enough practice but seldom with solos... Here's one of my songs, happy with most of it except the solo ;-) https://soundcloud.com/osirisguitar/song-5-final This post has been edited by osiris: Jan 21 2013, 10:23 AM -------------------- |

Hi Anders! Welcome to GMC! I'm checking your blog and there is a lot of interesting and inspiring stuff there! Regarding soloing, Cosmin give you they key for this, ear training is VERY important for composing and improvising. Learning and experimenting with scales is another important thing for this as well as learning licks from your favourite guitar players.
Ok mate, enjoy the site and let us know if you need some help. -------------------- My lessons

Boy o boy have you come to the perfect place. If GMC can't get you to that magic spot of flowing lead playing, no place can
As the guys have mentioned, there is a good bit of practice sitting between you and your goals, but as a computer science guy, I"m sure you can see the formula/sequence involved in getting there! Bit by bit, line by line. I'm a big fan of playing solos I LOVE playing solos. I honestly like it better than just about anything. And as with most things, it's something that comes with "Doing". Playing scales, patterns, learning theory, etc. all can contribute, but over the many years I've spent playing, I"ve found the best results I've seen on playing solos has actually come from, PLAYING SOLOS!!! To that end, I"d say join as many of our COLLABS as humanly possible to essentially force you to summon your talent, create a solo and submit it by deadline. This discipline is not for everyone. But it is invaluable IMHO in order to see measurable progress in a timely manner. Here is a recent solo I did for one of our recent collabs, for example.

Imagine what we ALL felt like. As we were each taking turns playing our parts, the organizer - who is also a musician - came by and lowered the gain to the point that he felt was satisfactory for the context. I had one day to re-organize my approach towards playing my parts. Otherwise I would've failed the gig. It served me incredibly well, in the end and I am grateful for the experience, but at first it was hell, because of the context.
