Excellent post Guido. You listed here an excellent guide that can be applied to creating solos but that are very connected to my way of composing full songs, even with vocals. Do you usually apply these things for songs?
We could add "Chord combinations" , also as the short sentences in the melodic lines item and Structures and Arrangements as extra items and we would have the ultimate composition secrets. -------------------- My lessons

THX Gabriel, You're right. My "golden rules" work for me in other musical situations as well. For example, when I compose a song I try to see the whole picture and not only just the guitar solo of course. That's just small piece that I gonna add at the very end and sometimes there isn't a place for that, and that's absolutely fine for me too. I always want to have the connection between The chords progressions, the groove, the melody, the mood etc. etc. AND finally the other musicians. And that's one of the biggest point here, specially young guitar players sometimes can act like egoists and their playing seem very isolated from the rest of the song or the other musicians, and I'm missing the strong connection here, in my opinion. But that's one of the hardest lesson to learn, playing with other musicians in a live situation or recording, specially while jamming. But yeah, I usually apply these things for songs too. ;-) "Listening", something so simple but that many young musicians and drummers forget to do when they are rehearsing or even arranging a song. Listening the idea as a listened, not as the player, listening the whole thing. I find a bit more difficult to listen the whole thing when I'm arranging or composing a song in the rehearsal room with the whole band. That's why I like to record and then listen to the recording to see how everything fits together. EDIT: I didn't mean that "drummers" aren't musicians haha, but I knew many experienced drummers that still don't listen to the other members of the band and that play for themselves instead of for the song.

I'll add ...
Listening to music in general - a lot! It's shocking how little time so many people who also play instruments (and by extension aspire to play well) spend actually listening to music. You wanna play good music? - good solos? - listen to good music ... constantly. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine
