i cant make a lick all my phrases sound all the same its really getting to me not being able to

make a cool phrase with smart licks using bends HO and PO

its really frustrating and i dont think its because im lacking inspiration

its like i know what i want to do but i cant make it happen on the fretboard

can you guys give me some advice?

i realy need to break that barrier and BREAK is the right word

thx for your time

Don't quite understand the question, you are trying to come up with your own licks, and you hear them in your head, but can't do them on the fretboard?

I understood the same...For that, there's a division called "ear trainning", if that's the problem, try to find what you hear on your head in the fretboard, note by note...

I would say that comes with experience. Listen to everything possible. I had that problem long ago but later I could easily come up with interesting stuff. What style do you like? For example when I wanted to learn modern way of blues phrasing I listened to Robben Ford 24/7 and now it's a whole sea of licks in my hands that I can easily convert to what I need in music. It just takes time.

Ok now I got the point. You want some rock/metal licks. All bands that you mentiond are influenced by some older stuff. Kirk Hamet, Joe Satriani and both Maiden (now 3) guitarists listened to Jimi Hendrix, Ritchie Blackmore, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck and similar guitarists. They would never have good sounding licks if they learned from metal bands similar to what they play. That's why I said listen to everything possible and time will tell.

There is a good exercise that Scott Henderson does. You take a lick that you like from some guitar player and twist it until you make it your own.
You've said Satriani is one of your favorites, well try listen to Blues players like Robben Ford, B.B King, S.R.V even Jimi Hendrix (Satch is/was a very big fan of the guy) and pay attention to the influence of that kind of playing into the Satriani's licks.
I hope it was useful.

Listen to others as much as you can! Try to get someone licks and try to mod to your taste! When you are jamming over a backing track, try to sing what your head "play" and then if like, try to play it for real on the guitar, more and more!

Practice scales and try to come up with licks from the scale nd the try to play it in different boxes or even different scales... But as Emir said it takes time and experience and since you only have been playing 8/9 months this isent easy but try to learn some scales and how they sound and also listened to you favorite guitarist and get som inspiration from there......

I would suggest also to play fingerings that you are not used to , just force yourself to play something that you wouldn't normally (you practice scales in patterns, you want to get away from them).Try playing weird (to you) fingering in order to come up with new phrases , and maybe more original smile.gif
