This is a solo i've just composed for the new song (written with my band) called "Doll House". Though I still need to practice it at lower tempo and improve some detail i'm pretty happy with it
 It consist of two part, the first is pretty quiet and the second more aggressive and speedy  YouTube Link hope you like it! feel free to comment! Cheers! |

I like the composition! It's a good solo! but I agree with jstcrsn about the pitch or tuning issue, there is something wrong with it. Try to check out your tuning before the next time you record yourself.

Good morning ! Always nice to see a new solo or creation from a GMCer
I think the general idea of the solo is good, however I wouldn't do those last 2 picking runs at the end, if it were me. Only because they definitely sound too much like 'exercises'. If it's a slow tempo, then long picking runs tend to sound like exercises no matter what you do. What I would do is replace the first picking run with more melody and keep the second picking run but when I get near the top, I would vary the tempo of the notes. It's a bit like the message I was trying to get across in my lesson, Set the Pace. Vary the note values to make a run sound more interesting: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Set-The-Pace/ |

Ok here the second edition of the solo
Now the tuning should be better (sorry for the last one but my strato has some intonation issue, this gibson (kindly borrowed by my girlfriend) is in tune (almost!) ).I have tried to follow Ben's advice, not sure if I succeded! I need to practice more scale run and get confident with tempo change, also I haven't really get the sextuplet down well yet  So these are the problems with the last part but I get the concept of setting the pace Here's the linkSolo - YouTube I'm gonna continue to work on this, so this will not be the final version. Also i'm gonna record this song with my band hopefully at the end of the year so I have time to work on these and also to improve on guitar. Let me know what you think! |

Yes, you're getting the idea now of varying the note tempos in a run - good stuff ! I've noticed another thing you may want to work on too. In the beginning you do a bit of finger shifting. In some cases, you're moving to another fret and your finger frets the note just slightly before you pick it. Try to make your note shifts more defined. Either have them definitely as just slides or definitely pick them but try to line up the finger movement with the pick strikes. It's nothing big, it'll just makes things sound a bit tighter
