yeah id like to play some nice blazing solos, iv been playing guitar for about 3 years now but i cant seem to solo good, if anyone listens to a band called "bullet for my valentine" they have awesome solos in every song. does anyone have any tips on how to learn to play at that speed ?

Not that I can play all that fast (I can't), but what speed I had when I was younger was all about practice and time. You probably gotta play interesting slower solos first as you work up towards very fast speed.
I actually think some of Boston's solos are very good for a beginning soloist. They're generally within reach of a beginner with the exception of a few phrases here and there that teach a few of the tricks like hammeron's and pullofs and heavy vibrato in the context of a melodic solo. The solo in Boston's "More than a feeling" is a good example of a what I'd consider a good starter solo. |

I love the solo in sweet child of mine. It's got a great pettern that will excercise your fingers! I remember how hard it was to learn, but after MANY times of playing it, now I can do it with my eyes closed. |
