My guitar teacher always told me to never write a solo that you couldn't sing back to someone. The "creating melodies" tip you give feels like the most important tip for creating a memorable solo. It's the reason why I will go to my GRAVe insisting that the final solo from Octavarium is the greatest guitar solo ever.

Thank you Nic, startede watching your videos some time ago and I have been enjoying them ever since. You make it short and very comprehensible especially when you show in context! And that accent is just golden xD \m/

Thank you for showing your tricks of the trade. Im going to focus on these techniques, and will be watching more of your vids!

I’d love to see a sweep tutorial from you ! I feel like you know the best way to describe it instead of the people who say “ this how you sweep” and plays full speed the whole time haha.

You explain stuff really well, looking forward to the sweep tutorial

Awesome Nick. Thanks

I expected a more memeful video haha! but im happy with this reminder/educational video :) sweet video as always Nik!

Very well done Nik

There's a guy on the FB RG Ibanez group that could REALLY benefit from this lesson, GREAT vid! and LOVE that EB 7 STRING, a work of art!! Thanks for sharing and the lesson! \m/!

Thank you! This Video really motivated me to learn soloing. Thanks alot

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanx.

all jokes aside bro, this was actually very helpful and it made me think of things I didnt even think about when it came to playing solos! but yeah you should make sweeping tutorials

Great presentation!

You are awesome man!

Some great tips - awesome

Good tips. In my preference the melodic, feeling out notes with phrasing cannot be overstated. Thats not even so much about skill, just about touch and thinking. The shred-part is then for the wow-factor, and to increase that wow-factor the odd notes, tapping, etc boosts then.

1:20 Nik's Russian alter ego left him for a sec

I love the fact that whenever he starts talking after a cut, he speaks in this thick Russian accent but gradually looses it over time till he speaks normal English at the end and then the cycle starts over after the next cut xD

Kudos for giving a shout-out to Andy James. That fellow is on a whole other level when it comes to this subject.

My solo start sounding musical thanks!!!

Superb video, thanks for posting

Thanks Niknocternal!

I love that Nik is describing "basic" things as "good to use, but not cool enough and can be much better" instead of "IF YOU USE IT YOU SUCK AND YOU SHOULD BETTER QUIT GUITAR"

The way your voice jumps between personalities is hilarious man lol just found you recently really enjoying the variance of your content. Do you spend much if any time mixing or mastering your own music? Have you thought about making videos on your processes in that department? You have a really good way of describing guitar theory that I don't see in a lot of other teacher types.

All killer points! One other thing that would’ve been a great point is key modulation between two different keys in a solo if the rhythm is harmonically ambiguous! Killer video all around though 👍🏼

This guy is an amazing teacher!

Please make a sweep picking tutorial!! Love the channel!!

You should make a video on how and when to use certain scales such as harmonic minor and melodic minor. Also when to use the different modes.

The Phrasing and Rhythm reminds me of something Rob Chapman said about some advice he got for playing solos. Essentially, you imagine you’re playing a wind instrument and every time you need to take a breath, you stop playing, breath, then continue. It’s meant more for blues or slow solos played with feel but it can definitely be applied to metal

I love you, man. This shit is hilarious and informative. Hell yeah! 😂🤘
