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.

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.

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

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. I've been playing for 25+ years and you made a few simple concepts "click" for me that I should have already know! Cheers! :D
