In building solos, I have probably, there's probably a method to it, although I don't think about it.
Not at this juncture anyway, I've been doing this for a long time.
But just from being a writer, I think I have a writer's mentality.
So I like to build a solo on the melody that I have in my head for the song.
For instance, like On the Road, for instance, that song.
I'm thinking now, when I built that solo, I was probably thinking,
I'm just in the wrong key.
On the road where the night is black.
Here's the intro.
[A] [B]
It's almost as if, that's a harmony of what I sing.
And the solo is very much the same way.
[A] [Am]
[G] [A#] [F#]
[E] Again, it is a complete composition, a piece of work.
Now, do I go off into the hinterlands?
Yeah, I do.
But that's free form.
I like to know where I'm starting and I like to know where I'm going to end up.
Now, [A] what happens in the middle is anybody's guess.
It could be different every night.
But that's improvisation.
That's the ability to play it off the top of your head.
And I think that's important too.
But for my money, if you know how to construct a melody for a song,
then you know how to construct a solo.
And it's a good idea.
You don't have to stick with it, but it sure feels nice when you get home
if you're not
