Hammermc Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 Recently I`ve been trying to play some solos but unfortunetely I found that I can`t play them properely.I couldn`t put together all the notes so that the whole solo would sound like original.Of course I tried to slow down the tempo and I faced the same problem.What I was playing didn`t make sense to me. So my question is do I need to play them at the original speed or simply there is something wrong with me ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ki swordsman Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 you're talking about covering a solo not improvising right? your phrasing skills are probably the thing that's holding you back but the best way to get it better is to cover more songs if you give more detail like what solos you are learning we could help more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stalefish Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 Could it be your expression?? That's a pretty important factor, both for covering other solos as well as for doing your own.. Gotta feeeel the soul.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ki swordsman Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 ok i just had a listen it's a heavily structured (this to this to this bit to this bit) each bar kindof thing try breakin it down and learning it in sections slow first then slowly speeding up in increments is it technique that's getting you? like not being able to play a part fast enough or something?

Yes correct.But also I cannot remember the whole solo amd also I cannot hear all the notes that it consists of.Will it improve by playing more songs ???

Ki swordsman Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 you just need to spend more time memorizing it, it could be your method of memorizing? just take 1 section till you remember it, then move to the next as for not hearing all the notes, usually it's possible to figure it out by listening and reading the tab, kinda working it out simply using logic to take a stab at how those bits are played... and yes it all improves the more you do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
