Hey GMC'ers! Anyone, beginners, intermediate, or advanced players who want to compose a solo that people cannot forget will be taught in this lesson.

The lights turn on, and there's a guitarist playing his famous solo, and people starts to sing along... along a guitar solo! I'm sure, in this very moment, lots of great solos are coming to your mind: Slash standing over the piano perhaps? So... here, I'm going to show you how to compose a very cool solo just by following a few important tips.

-Create a nice chords progression
-Use techniques you've already mastered
-If you want to shred it, do not turn it into an exercise
-Compose your solo for everyone, not only for musicians.
