These polls get a lot of attention, more so than any post, so we are going to use this poll to do two things. I want you to tell me where you are at in your soloing, and I have included a road map to learn how to solo. Awesome.

End game, you want to be able to pick a root, construct a scale from it, major, minor, blues, both pentatonic scales and modes, and then be able to create chords from that scale.

You should then be able to use those chords to create a chord progression and solo over the chords chords with that scale.
