Emotional Solo in D minor

Fingerstyle Guitar Solo

Writing musical ideas on the spot is one of the things I love the most about playing guitar.

In this video, I am going to play an emotional solo in D minor key using a combination of chords, melody, and solo.

One thing that I like about this solo is the fact that I recorder a backing track with the accompaniment, which only kicks in in the middle of the solo.

I had to record the whole thing with the click to make sure the accompaniment starts at the right bar. That made the structure pretty simple to follow.

Sixteen bars guitar only, then solo with accompaniment for another 16 bars. After the solo, I am playing a simple melody using basic triads for another 8 bars before going back to the main theme for the last sixteen bars.

Working with a structure is one of the most exciting things you’ll ever experience. I love the feeling of knowing what’s coming so that I don’t have to improvise.
