My first attempt at a little solo with Chord Tones

You hear them a lot on this site, I know that Kirk is a big fan and I have even heard a few people say they are more important then scales.

I never tried it though, so I thought I would give it a go, see how it came out.

It is short and it is not very good. I know this.

BUT....and this is very important to me.

It don't sound like me soloing. I know that sounds wierd, but what I mean is that I can recognise my soloing a mile away, it has become predictable to me. This wasn't predictable.

Which is great!

I am working on the CAGED system now, so that I can open up more of the fretboard, on this little solo, I had to stick to the basic E Barre chord patterns as they were all I could work out in my head fast enough, since it was a live situation.

Looking forward to getting better at this though.

Thanks Kirk and Co for consistently pushing the idea into my thick bone headed skull.

ps, yeah i should add the attachment for sure.
