Hey guys, welcome back to another guitar lesson. Today I am going to show you an easy way to write a beautiful solo on the guitar.

When it comes to writing down a guitar solo (or a melody), it comes down to one thing only: Note choice! You should ask yourself, “What are the musical elements that I need to express myself through this guitar solo?”

Maybe your goal is to play over sophisticated chord progressions like a Jazz player or play fast and heavy like a rock player. You can decide to play three notes like a Blues player or never to play a guitar solo in your life.

Whatever your reasons are, you should focus on learning the tools you need to write the guitar solos you feel like playing.

In my case, I love simple, singable, and melodic stuff. Most importantly, I like to write solos that are easy to sing. The singing part is a big deal for me because it allows me to write music that comes from my voice rather than just my fingers.

When my wife whistles the music I write, I know I did an excellent job!

In this lesson, I am going to show you how to play a beautiful guitar solo so that you can get inspired. I suggest that you learn this solo, and then, use the backing track to come up with your ideas.

Start with one note per chord, just like in the video. Then, develop your musical ideas step-by-step as you become better.

The backing track is available below.

Enjoy this lesson.
