Starting improvise or write guitar solos is really tricky and super awkward, but there’s not a lot of actionable advice about how to get started effectively. This video explains Question & Answer soloing which takes ques from how we form conversations in real life.

Here’s the example tab – the above part is the Question, ending on a 5th while the lower part is the Answer as it lands on the Tonic.

Here’s the list of ideas from the end of the video – a few things to try out and experiment with:

• What happens if you try to answer the Question with a note other than the Root?
• Do the questions and the Answers need to be the same length?
• Can you ask several Questions with only one Answer?
• What Questions can you ask from outside of the scale?
• Do the notes leading up to the Question, (or up to the Answer), actually matter?
• Can you ask or Answer a Question with just one note?
