First Solo/Post.

Hi! I'm pretty new here. I figured this might be a good place to start, since I don't like introductions.

A friend of mine created a song in Fruityloops a little while ago. I got my hands on it today and thought it needed a solo. I start in around 20 Seconds.

I'd like a critique on my playing. I've been playing around a year. And have really only learned Pentatonic scales, and was just kind of improving around (Which is why you'll find a sour note or two in there).

Suggestions? Problems?

Pretty darned good effort there, Driv, especially for a yearling. You've obviously got the music in you, just keep on playing as much as you can, try to keep track of what works and what doesn't, map that fretboard out and limber those fingers up. It's a lifelong journey so enjoy the ride.

Sounding good Driv nice vibe , welcome


Seems like I've been having one of those days
Since sometime back in 1998
And a turnaround is surely on the way
Or maybe that's me spinning down the drain

Very nice Driv, particularly as you have only been playing for one year.

Well done.
