There is so much music out there to listen to. Decades of Rock featuring big drums and monster guitar riffs. It’s overwhelming to think of your favorite parts from songs. But I recently wanted to take a look at the guitar solo. And I was able to do that on My First Call Last Call feature. We’ll take a look at 5 Guitar Solos New Jersey Thinks are Great!
I have a feature on my show called First Call Last Call where I post a question of the day to the DHA Facebook page on weekdays at about 4 pm. Then at 5 pm, based on listeners’ responses, I put together a block of music for the ride home. It’s always a lot of fun to hear people’s opinions and read their answers to the questions.
So what makes a good guitar solo? Well, that’s kind of subjective. Maybe you’re a fan of technique and difficulty. Then there’s some who prefer something a little less busy, more melodic, and simple.
I think as long as it’s something that propels the song forward it could work. But it also needs to be built. There should be a flow to it where it starts mild and then builds and crescendos to the climax! That’s a solo that stands out and becomes memorable. Again, not necessarily with the most difficult playing, but following that pattern can help.
It’s also always a lot of fun to see a solo played live. When the guitarist hits it note for note just like on the album, you can get goosebumps in the venue at your favorite guitar lick.
A guitar solo isn’t always so easy to come up with, but when done well, it could even help make a song. With that being said, let’s take a look at 5 guitar solos New Jersey Thinks Are Great!
