Agree with all of the above posts Listen to the solo in Paranoid as an example of what the guys are talking about. It's got the classic call/response and it's punctuated by a reprise on the main riff - a clever solo. And as the guys say, listen to the melody and get an idea of what notes & sounds go with - and DEFINITELY rip off other stuff!!!! As an example I'm putting together a solo for a version of Neil Youngs "Rocking in The Free World" that I'm doing live soon. The original solo is honking, so my mate came up with an intro, I've worked on some widdly bits for the middle and have lifted the bridge section straight out of Montrose's "Space Station #5" to end the solo as it's a perfect fit - easy-peasy lemon squeezy :up: Good luck DZL
