so back in my teen years i was a huge zeppelin fan (obviously by my username lol) and i used to have the jimmy page style down PAT. i would improv solo this cool fun bluesey stuff..but after years of getting out of zeppelin, i started to realize i was in a rut, and i wished i could get out of said rut so bad because all my improv stuff sounded the same/like jimmy.
well i guess i got my wish. i'm 23 and now i suck at solo'ing. wtf happened? i used to be able to shread and now, it's just gone...it's not that i don't have the physical ability, i do...if anything i've gotten better at fast picking, etc...but it's my brain/theory. i have NO idea what to do for a solo anymore!!! i've been so involved in riffs these past 2 years that solo'ing has just been in the back of my head, and now it's gone.
i just joined a band and we're using some of my riffs. for example, they want me to shread it up over one of them, and i'd LOVE to.
the progression is a bluesey type thing, and it simply goes E-G-A. E for a measure, than G to A in the second measure, repeat.
what the hell can i do to solo over this?! i used to be decent in music theory (took classes in college) and honestly it all is gone. what the hell key am i in? where would i even BEGIN to solo this? would i stay in one key or move around? my typical blues improv doing the bendy things on the 12th-14th/15th frets on the G-B-E kind of works, but what the hell lol i can't get a good solo down whatsoever for this progression.
can any of you give me a swift kick in the balls here and help me remember what the hells going on?!!?
