Scorpion Q+A 120

Question

Hello there Scorpion,

This question is a call for help for my guitar idol Dave,
I have played guitar for a while and I believe that I can start with some solos but I don't know how to start.
I would like to know how Dave begun to learn to solo and how later he re-learned to play guitar after his nerve injury, Can you please help me?

Megadeth all the way

Answer

Hello Mystery Writer,
Good for you for picking up the guitar and asking questions!

Dave had the following to say:
"Songs are made of parts that all have a distinct purpose and the solo is the best art of the song for me. But if you don?t have a great song, and the music that goes under the solo isn?t great also, then you just have a solo in a bad song. My advice would be to look into formal songwriting lessons, or do what I did, and teach yourself.

Good luck and keep rockin'!
