Soloing.

[geoffshort]

Bassiclly I've been wanting to solo in some of my songs or when my band just jams. I've been trying to...but I just can't get anything to sound good . So do you guys have any tips for jazz/blues soloing?

Thanks

This might work better in the Instruction or Technique forums...

I'm not sure how green you are to soloing, but if you are just learning, try just fooling around in the blues scale, there is so much room for creativity in there, and it's tough to hit a wrong note.

give the penatonic a shot while soloing. This is the first scale i learned to solo on and its tough to play something that doesnt sound good. Start lower on say G, then work your way to the G on the 15th fret and noodle around high up.

Start slow; learn to walk before you can run.

Speaking of which, learn to walk. Literally. Play all the old blues stuff, the shuffles, it'll help.
