Hey Kris, I was wondering, say I am playing a song say, Freebird by Lynard Skynard or Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd in concert. I have always found it good to improvise the solo and actually head away from the area where the original solo was played (on the fretboard) is this bad? Should I stay in the same area??

Well as Liam is saying there are no rules for that - both are good. Pick the one which you think sounds the best!

Only make sure you are switching position because you want to - not because you lack the theoretical knowledge to stay!

We have got a Marty Fridman arpeggio lesson coming up by the way!
