Does anyone have any suggestions to make my solos sound more like rock either in minor pentatonic or any other scale thanks You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

For example, the dorian (or aeolian) scale has a minor feel without the flat five (blue note). You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Using lots of "one-note-per-string" stuff can make it sound pretty kewl, and not bluesy at all. Hey, why dont you try Wallimans metal head lesson?
