So I experienced a few moments over the last weekend relating to the subject of "writing" a solo and also with some of the nifty quotes Tater's been posting on Facebook.
We started playing a brand new song that we've already recorded for release. I haven't really worked up a solo, although I "wung" it just fine in the studio and am happy. The basic script of the recorded solo is flashy scale climb into quoting vocal melody of second line into big tremelo double stop. While trying to play this script Thursday night my fingers traffic jammed and I wound up losing it, so I kinda did some "angry" slide up and downs, double-stopped but not really, a really inarticulate "whoop, whoop," sort of like a wolf whistle. This got some whoos from the folks in the front row and made me think of what someone wrote on Mike's Facebook page, taht if you play a wrong note a few more times it doesn't sound wrong, so I played some sloppy flash and the "whoop whoop" again and this time the whole place went "yeah." Interesting. (And I thought of that wrong note thing on the fly--this is what Grisman means by fast composing, methinks). So the next night I tried to do it again. Felt good. Cleaned up the slop a little. By Saturday night I'd gotten it figured out, including playing the climb a little less flashy and more tremelo-y, but into the intentionally sloppy "whoop whoops". Big cheer, big smiles from the bandmates. And that's how I write my solos, I guess. Anyhoo, there you go. I thought of this thread and have been wanting to share this since I got home.
