Topic: THANK YOU 12345abcd3 !!!!!

Oh man, you absolutely ROCK!!!

Before last night I had no idea how to solo and I couldn't get anything to sound right.
After checking out the http://www.jamcenter.com website you told me about, I now can solo!!!

I thought that I would be playing power chords and reguar chords my entire guitar-life but
I went to the website and everything has changed!!

I now understand how the notes connect together and what sounds good with what other notes. I can also transition from one set of scales to another without needing to worry about squawking the wrong sound out of the fretboard. Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you soooooo much for sending me that link!

Apparently, all I needed was a backup band to help me understand what my place as a solo-player was.
And I understand it all now because I never get to play along with anyone else besides at church and the keyboardist plays all the leads anyway. But now...now I know what I have to do!
I can even solo without the website backing music.

This starts a new chapter in my life and in my guitar playing. I can barely sit still at work today just thinking about getting home and soloing some more and trying out different song solos that I've heard before. I feel like I'm gonna explode!!!!

Man, thank you so much dude. You don't know how much this has helped me out.

Sincerely,
Dm

I had a look at the site too. Great site. With the best suggestion being that you should start to solo very soon after beginning the guitar. I've only been playing a few weeks and can already solo pretty well on the Am and Em pentatonic scales (pushed into it by my tutor but much appreciated).

You're so lucky, I wish I had a tutor. I had originally planned to have one but things just haven't worked out the way I planned.

I wish I had known about this so much sooner, things would be very different today.
But, no time like the present to get started!!
