    Jason Becker shared the backing track of Valley Of fire. Now he wants people to solo over it and share it on Facebook/Twitter.
    The problem I’m having is that the backing track is pretty much a loop of about 9 minutes(at least the harmony is there are like Dynamics and stuff going on), so I’m having trouble keeping my solo interesting because I kinda run out of ideas after about 4 minutes(or maybe I was in a hurry and didn’t play as good as I could have IDK).
    Is anybody else doing this too?

    you can try developing a motif out of a particular part of the song and when you feel you are running out of ideas, return to the catchy part, could be like the chorus in cliffs of dover or the verse like right after the opening solo
