True mastery of guitar phrasing is displayed when you
are able to get a huge amount of drama and emotion out of only a SINGLE pitch
on the guitar. Many guitarists attempt to mask their inability to do this by
constantly cramming in more notes than necessary into their guitar solos. Fact
is, your audience will be much more impressed when you can play one note and
make it sound AMAZING than if you can play one thousand notes that don't
express anything meaningful.
The
important thing for improving guitar phrasing is not necessarily to use less
notes, but rather to apply a variety
of ornamentation nuances to get
the most expression out
of each note in your guitar solo.
The
drama and expression in your guitar solos comes not from the ‘notes’ you play
on guitar, but rather from ‘how’ you play those notes. Check out this lead
