Usually its a cool concert, or a cool new song you hear on radio which kicks you back into gear. Also solo endings are often hard to get "convincing", maybe you could listen to a song with a solo your really like and try to do something similar ? Its hard to get all the licks in a solo to be spectacular, try to record as much as you can- and then go back to the recordings after few days to hear which ones sounds best to you as a whole.

I've been struggling with that recently too for a song of mine.
But I sorted it out and now I'm pretty happy with the result. What I did was to listen to some similar solos on the same style and same backing track style. From there I came with the first ideas and got me rolling, The other thing that got me going was to re-use material already put in the solo. By doing this you are going to give your solos a sense of wholeness and not just bits put together. This solo comes to my mind, you can see how he re-uses some material in the same solo (I just grabbed a version on youtube) Souls of black solo -------------------- Visit my:

Try to sing the solo in your head and play it, it will sound right. We all have natural ability to compose melody in our heads, we are all "musicians". We are not all "players" tho, but you are, so you can translate what you hear to the guitar. It's all about that. Remember that good solo doesn't have to be a fast flashy solo. Good solo is anything catchy that people will appreciate, so make it a good one, not "spectacular" one.
