>guitar solo is pre written

>>73517476
cuz reasons

>>73517476
sometimes its called a lead

>>73517320
sorry todays music couldn't satisfy your need of a retardedly long dadrock solo gramps

>>73517912
Don't try if you can't simple as that. If you aren't making a nice melodic solo that goes well with the song, you better better a talented guitarist and have a shred.

Two alternatives. Make it a bridge, or show off.

solo instrumentals are fucking awful though

>>73519612
Not if the player is justifiably good enough. If it's something like Ringo Starrs little solo, it's pointless. Whereas if its a Ginger Baker solo, people are more inclined to listen.

Solo's are more for the artists i think. If you don't play an instrument, you aren't going to appreciate what theyre doing as much. I can sit there and listen to drum solo's on repeat, solely because its fasinating watching their technique and style at their best.

drums dont count as another instrument during a guitar solo

>>73519742
Yes they do? They keep the rhythm, and depending on the ability of the drummer, play along with the melody too.

>>73519760
that doesnt mean its not a guitar solo

>>73519843

>solo (plural solos)

>(music) A piece of music for one performer.

>>73519843
Of course it's still a guitar solo, but drums are still another instrument playing?

OP meant at least drum solo's are interesting, not interesting during guitar solos? How badly did you read OP?

Maybe you should listen to actual accomplished guitarists play a solo.

>guitar solo at the same time as a flute and sax solo
