Hey GMC, I am stuck. Not with my learning abilities but with my solo compositions. I recently started a metal band at college and I am lead guitar. I got a solo in a song we just created but I can't finish it. Every time I have a lick of sorts, I throw it out as garbage because I feel like its nothing spectacular. Obviously, if I feel like my solos are generic, they are. I know I just need some inspiration or something to work off of. Can you terll me what inspires your solos. What do you do to write one?

I find that my best solos come when I'm not thinking so much. Like Happy Gilmore - find your "happy place" and it'll happen. Maybe solo over the progression without the pressure of "I have to compose a solo now" and just jam with the tune strictly for fun.
