Hi, my name is Alexander and 15 years ago I was really struggling with playing guitar solos – actually I struggled to get creative in any way at all. I struggled, because:
• I was embarrassed every time I had to play anything other than background (preferably wayyyyy back)
• I couldn’t understand how melodies and solos fit together with the chords I was playing
• I could only play songs and solos exactly like the original – or not at all.
It sucked.
The only thing I really understood was chords, so I started focusing on them.
