This solo is a good example of something I've been talking about in my videos: Everything is chords. It's so much more interesting to me to get inside of the chord changes and create a melody rather than simply using a scale and landing on "good" notes. But here, in this solo, I use both techniques. The request for this solo was for it to "soar". That was the word the producer used. To me, that means there is a dynamic build, and it moves toward a higher register as it builds to its peak.
There are so many "rules" out there. At the end of the day, I hope we can all get to the place where we're hearing ideas in our head and getting them out on the fretboard. Enjoy!
