I have the same problem from beginning,
to be creative in a long run, actually I'm sure most of do, specially if it' fully improvised.  I won't be commenting your technique at all, I see you're pretty descent player in that aspect of playing tho. So I would try to say few words about expression and music. First of all,your take is like 3mins long, which is way more than common guitar solo. That means you should make a light motive or a phrase, smaller main theme,call it as you want. You can do many variation on it, to get more pleasure to the listener. After that it's easy to add more technical stuff like sweeping,tapping or whatever. Another important thing is to make gaps when playing. A gap might mean much more comparing to legato playing all the time, not legato as a technique but connecting every note while playing. Connection is good but if you do that all the time it gets kind a boring,take a breath here and there, there's always something behind you,even a silence is music. try to tell a story when playing long shots, start slowly,repeat same thing few times,then go further, go back for main theme,upgrade it,make gap, hit a chord here and there which is cool tool in soloing as well. There are some advices but best way is to record yourself and listen, do not focus on your technique when listening, try to hear if you are saying something or not. -------------------- Youtube

Hit G chord using 3 strings
when having G in progression per example, will give everybody nice break from pure single note soloing. Keep going,sounds great so far!

QUOTE (kjutte @ Aug 4 2008, 10:40 PM)  Got it, I will try It's really hard to keep going to new passages when improvising, but I guess that comes with ear...? It comes with ear and years as well. But ear is good guide,singing as well,I hope you're singing tho!! Sing something "in your mind" and try to reproduce it on guitar, with singing you'll get lot of nice sounding phrases and passage that don't sound like guitar type chops,up and down the scale.

QUOTE (kjutte @ Aug 4 2008, 10:53 PM) Yeah, I do sing. and I try to sing 'in my head' when improvising. It works some of the time, but not all the time Did you start singing immediately when you started? I'd like to gain relative pitch aswell. Yeah, I've been singing as far as I can remember. Relative pitch will come by singing a lot and learning as much as possible by ear. -------------------- Youtube
