Today we will look at starting a solo.
I find (as do many people) that once I have a beginning to something, I find the
rest much easier.

The average solo will start of quite low, go up a scale, hang on a high point
then finish at a high note.

So, to begin a solo..

I will give two examples to charge your creativity,
example one is my favourite.

————————————————————–
————————————————————–
————————————————-7–9-12-11—
————————————-9–7–7-9—————-
-7—10-9——————-7–10——————————-
———–8–8-10-10-10————————————–

—————————————————–//
——————–10-12-13-12–15b17——–//
—————————————————–//
10-10-12-12-12———————————-//
—————————————————–//
—————————————————–//

as you will see, it gets higher. it is played at a tempo of 115.

—————————————————–6-8b9r8-8p6—–//
-13b15-13b15-13b15——-10h11——6-8———————8-//
—————————————–12v~—————————//
————————————————————————–//
————————————————————————–//
————————————————————————–//

The above is one that does not abide by conformity, and instead starts off
relatively high.

These are just ideas though, your solo is yours, and should be crafted in you
vision.
