@bigjon or @viz may have video of my (bad) pentatonic ramblings at a jam somewhere.

I haven't sorry - checked my YouTube uploads but I've only got viz, ESBlonde and MusoPhilR

Here ya go!

I might as well pop my mustang sally solo from the same place up again ....

Oh and here's a fun little persian scale at the end of this clip:

Here's a track from a recent rehearsal - lots wrong with it (instrument balance, mono 'cos I didn't press the right button, only been playing it for a couple of weeks, excuses, excuses, etc. etc):

I'm enjoying this thread - great variety of 'styles' here. It's made me think about what my 'style' is. I'll have a rummage through what I've got on SoundCloud and report back.

Good to hear people actually playing guitars rather than just buying and selling 'em.

Does 12 minutes of tremolo picking count as a solo?

Only if you're louder than everybody else.

Right, I think I've been fairly heavily influenced by this guy ...

I seem to share Frank's stated affliction of  playing all across the rhythm  - I've always been a bit 'rhythmically deviant'.

Sometimes I play clean, though ..

Finally, the other major aspect of my playing is ambient, soundscapey stuff with looping, e-bow and using a volume pedal to sculpt the attack on the notes ...

This isn't the only style I play but I do like going for a Jeff Beck style approach a lot of the time…

@Danny1969 nicely played, I'm really liking the guitar, what is it? Got any pictures?

Thanks, you could have got one where I didn't have the bass amp pointing straight at me so I couldn't hear myself..........

Does it have a delay on it? or Wah? If yes to either of these, it's a solo, if not it's a riff.

It's an old Ibanez Roadstar from about 86. It's the best Ibanez I've ever played, the thing just sings and harmonics really jump out even with dead strings. 

This is same guitar but sounding more like a Telecaster

What about a thread to show a bit of your technique, here's a bit of mine

Bring em on and put em here so we can all nick bits off each other

Absolutely wonderful in so many ways.

Really nice! @Danny1969

Some great stuff on here - it's clear some of you are pros!

I've never managed to get much into soloing, but here's a vid of me playing over some live looping when I was testing out the Strymon Timeline:

and here's me murdering Gary Moore's 'Still in Love with You'

Minor pentatonic, few bends on b & e string, some generic lick I mess up, descend scale a little realise its shite, stop.

Hey! That's my style too. Except, I'm worse.
