Check out Ben's new lesson, "Defining Armageddon-Solo", and then post a reply to today's topic.
Do you think about the chord progression when soloing, or do you focus on 'shredding in a scale'? |

Unfortunately I don't think about chords. I'll have to change that, because it enhances the sound considerably.

if you wish so, but shredding in a scale is not a solution.

That's a good question, and it seems that it is often the problem with players who didn't practice chords that much. When playing, I usually think of chords more than scales, so this helps me maintain good connection to the backing. If there is need for a certain scale/range of notes that has to be used, it's important to lock to strong notes first before continuing, so the arpeggios serve as a good foundation for that.

It's VERY important to think about chords or at least use your ear to find which notes of the scale sound better over the progression.

No. I wish I did, because it is very important if you want to compose a good sounding solo.
