Very interesting topic!
 I would add a general, more live performance related tip : if you hit a "wrong" note, don't make a big deal out of and facial expression like you ate something really bad. Instead, just ignore it and maybe hit it a few more times and it will start sounding "intentional" and listener's ear will adapt (in most cases). Most of the times you'll be the only person to notice it. -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

QUOTE (Monica Gheorghevici @ Mar 20 2014, 04:28 AM) IMO a big mistake is playing a solo without sense of rhythm. You must have a full control of timming of your notes. The rhythm has the same importance as the choice of notes. You could play live a solo, make a mistake and play some notes in an entirely wrong key but if your rhythmic phrasing is good, it will still sound good (of course, how good can sound with wrong notes?). If 'I' had to pick worst thing to do in a solo I'd say that Monica has nailed it. You can get away with a lot of melodically questionable material when your rhythm, timing and conviction is strong. My own contribution to the topic would be that ending too soon and/or not on a strong note is a common problem that plagues a lot of inexperienced soloists. Basically not knowing the form that they're soloing over. *And of course any and all bass solos are just totally wrong all the time

From my personal experience I think too much, so maybe this would go for an advice:
Don't think...feel! |

QUOTE (Cosmin Lupu @ Mar 22 2014, 07:10 AM) Another good saying from Ken Thanks man, as you know, I am collecting these And to come up with one myself: 'Don't play what's there, play what's not there!' As the great Miles Davis said Yeah, that's xlnt advice. My fave Miles' quote ...  *There's a really good John Frusciante interview in the latest GP mag where he talks a lot about playing what's not there or was never there there to begin with.

How about soloing on a guitar that is badly out of tune? And then bending and stretching the notes to try to make them work.
