Posted by: Evil_Invader Mar 23 2010, 04:58 AM

Very interesting read! I suggest everyone look at that!

In fact there's not "26" things.. just noticed it was the 26th item of a sequence. But nevertheless, very useful things to keep in mind.

Nice read, thanks for the link. The tip that stood out the most to me was "Don't try to play everything you know in one solo." Simple concept but I think I make that pitfall sometimes.

My Pleasure!

Have a look at the other pages too! Endless source of information! It complements well Mr. Cockburn's lessons!

i would like to add .
i also , try to find the most powerful vocal line in the song , and see if i can fit that in somewere to give the solo the same passion of the song

The solo is a story in another story. just connect the both stories and you will have a beautiful song.

+1 for this one

I always follow this approach when composing

I like how this sums up everything...thanks for sharing!

Very nice share, always good to be able to use as much as these components possible.

very good points! all true

I would say that imagining it first and even singing it first before attempting to record can create interesting results,

the other thing is to erase any part at any time! don't fall in love with any part unless it's really true love! pfff biggrin.gif you know what I mean
