this is a song i made the other day, the solo is at the end, and before theres little fills i made. I been told my soloing is boring and doesnt have good enough rhythems and doesnt have really a flow. I been told my soloing was too dependent inside the scale. I want to get my soloing more melodic and flowing and goes somewhere. I was thinking outside of the box for my guitar abit today, wondering if i could combind minor pentatonic and the melodic minor scales together, would it work? would it stay in key? would it work well together? BTW i only use pentatonic minor scale, and i know how to conneect it all over the fretboard so i can go every where. Im really into type of soloing that hendrix,angus young,slash,red hot chili peppers, eddie van halen does , so please help!!

well i learnt a new technique called the hopstock pentatonic scale, where i connect all the dotes together in one key, so i have more depth to go to, more of a hallway , then just a walkway. I solo more like prince now, so im better than before. Now i just need to learn the other keys with this techinque, its hard because i never have to time to play guitar during school days with football practicee ,always during summer i would play guitar 6 hours a day or more, and i love that, any more advice?

jeff, the "song" was more of a jam session i did, but i think i got better at soloing abit, and i read some stuff in filling up the lines in the petantonic scale, putting in chromatic notes in there, to give an extra edge. And i also learned all the notes to the pentatonic scale, matched everything together. I will record 2nd version of me soloing later
