Channeling some early megadeth here, didn’t come out as clean as I would have liked but 6 months ago this would not have been possible so calling it a win!
Trickier lead this time!
Well-done man.
Great effort man. Only 3 attempts? Many around here wouldn't be able to play that with unlimited attempts, myself included.... that lead was the 3rd attempt...
You are too kind, I didn’t mean the 3rd time thing as a boast, I just genuinely ran out of time and when I realized it, I think I just went into overdriveGreat effort man. Only 3 attempts? Many around here wouldn't be able to play that with unlimited attempts, myself included.
Those descending "4s" are something I've always struggled with. Been attempting them since I realised Steve Lukather used them a lot since waaay back in the '70s.
IMHO if you paused the scales more often on "interesting" notes (try to avoid root notes for this I reckon) and for additional interest bent up to those notes, adding vibrato after a bit of sustain, this alone could take the solos, at least the ones I've heard from you lately, to the next level.It doesn’t sound terrible but I always get left with the feeling that the note choices could be optimized!
Dude that was the exact goal!!! It takes me so long to get the rhythm parts down that by the time it’s time to really craft the solo as you’re saying, I’m out of time.Probably the fingering. Never really looked into how peeps do it; just always attempted it by-ear.

FWIMBW, I've always been a better critic than musician, so hopefully this tip is useful...

You can stick with the notes in the runs you're using, not change anything about them, but simply land on notes that sound interesting to you other than the root note (most of the time).The faster things get, the more it just becomes a flurry of notes. I’m gonna have to bite the bullet and force myself to really pick and choose my notes.

Try pausing / sustaining each note in a scale you're using for a run and see how it sounds against a chord background / song.
You'll quickly grow to like certain notes in said scale/s as ones to bend to / sustain / add vibrato to.
Different genres have different notes that have become popular in this regard. I don't know theory so can't really describe any to you, but if you take blues for example, you'll hear a lot of this with maybe just 1 or 2 notes.
