Hi Thom, I'm a new subscriber here and it has a lot to do with the, "6 Guitar SOLO Tips You Must Know" video I found on YouTube. In the intro you demo some great BB King licks that immediately caught my attention. Do you have the tabs for those here somewhere? Thanks, and I'm enjoying your lessons.

Hi mike, sure no problem! The blues solo was taken from BBKings worry worry worry live at cook county jail, he plays it in Ab major, I put the tabs in the key of A major so you can play along with the backing track!<a href="https://bit.ly/2DUAdEI" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://bit.ly/2DUAdEI</a> enjoy!

Thom, when it comes to soloing, how far in advance do you know what you are going to play? Are you truly improvising note to note, or are you able to “see” future chord changes and melody milestones?

Guitar Pilgrim

Hi Vini, that's a great question. Usually when I think of what I'm playing, moments before I improvise it, it turns out pretty dull and boring. I have found that my best playing happens when I'm not consciously thinking about it at all, it somehow happens spontaneous...
