Interesting solos without speed

Play with your inner hamster

Now that I think about it, when the best players are going off they tend to play to the crowd. Many of their licks are accompanied by campy, hammy stereotyped poses or moves. Playing a trill while sticking out and fluttering your tongue Gene Simmons style makes chicks hot. Dropping to your knees at the front of the stage and arching backwards as you do that big bend like Angus Young will start a frenzy. Chirping false RH harmonics while pursing your lips and leaning towards a chick like Eddy VanHalen will get them up on stage with you. All this come down to showmanship, having fun and bringing the fun to the crowd. You can't play a million notes but the crowd (especially the chicks) love it when you bring the show to them.
