I tend to go for blues stuff more than rock. Blue artists, at least the good ones, seemed to have figured out the essence of a good solo: Part poetry, part sexual tension. While it's fine to let it all hang out occasionally, a la Ginsberg's "howl", a poem is differentiated from prose by what it doesn't say, the spaces between the words, left to implication and imagination. Similarly, good sexual tension results from nearing it, playing around it, but backing off at the right time, heightening the expectation, but never quite giving in.
That's a good blues solo to me. The magic is almost more in what they don't play than what they do, what is alluded to, hinted at, left "unsaid". That's why BB King is so great, despite many who downplay his pure technique. There's more soul and beauty in the spaces between his notes than in anything Satriani has ever played. Try listening to "thrill is gone", paying attention to the gaps and pauses. It's amazing. _________________ “We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim.

great post. to me, a good solo is 90% soul, 10% technique. If the note was right w/ the song, I'd take a single string bend solo for about 12 measures over a solo that contains 100 notes a measure any day. _________________ Thank you, Kobe. We love you.
