How to make a long solo sound interesting? I can noodle so

sounds good anon, would just turn guitar higher in the mix cause i can barely hear it. I would start where you started, and then do some other licks and build it up higher and higher.

get the emotion building up like a crescendo, you know. And then by like a minute in you're just full on jamming

b-but theres no guitar solo in there

start off slow and gain speed and momentum gradually. dont blow your load too early by playing way up high on the neck too soon, give it time to reach climax

I struggled with this a lot and still do, but I think I've figured it out, it's because you think too much about what you're doing. You practice so that all that technique becomes subconscious and automatic, you shouldn't think about it when you play. Music is like speaking, when you speak you don't think about the letters you choose, you just let your mouth and vocal chords do their thing, you think thoughts and your mouth can automatically articulate them, that's exactly what needs to happen when you play an instrument, only then will things start sounding natural. Forget everything you've learned while playing, forget the licks, intervals, everything. Don't think about what you're doing physically, you need to think about the music, the melody, the sound you want to create and just let the fingers do their thing.

just play arpeggios with tons of FX on, no one will notice

Good, worthwhile guitar solos are incredibly rare. Most of the time you can completely discard them

Ween comes to mind as one of the only bands I can think of with consistently great guitar solos. They always perfectly match the tone of the song
