You know your boxes, know your licks and can tell your story. When the 1st beat hits you go to any of the minor pentatonic shapes, close you eyes and start dreaming away in far away land while hitting that bend on the G strings full of confidence.
Learn arpeggios or modes? Why would you do that if you don't get lost and spice you solo up it up with a couple of "weird" notes now and there.
Some chord progression might a challenge to you at first, but hearing the track many times and starting from the relative minor solves all your issues.
What's better than to drift in "the zone" the moment you start playing your leads. You are not bound to any of the mortal laws of chords shapes and scales and have transcended into unleashing the music you hear in your head, through your guitar, to the audience.
You listen, analyze, close your eyes and play your heart out. being in front on 10, 100,1000 people. or in front of your cat in your bedroom - it's all the same to you and your trip into soloing.
Tension and release are your life mottos, the bluesy notes are your domain and wrong notes are passing notes. You know your blues scale, probably your 7th arpeggios and what you do best is to make your audience make mean faces in a show while you play your 4 min long improvised solo.
Chords of the backing track? who cares! There is always a double stop to be played or a groovy-dirty double bend to make your face scream silently.
If a keyboard player plays 1000 notes in 1 min, why can't you do the same? Being mean and tough is the game and the scale shapes, arpeggios and sweeps you have been practicing since you were a teenager serve to turn any head around in a show.
The chord progression you love the most? Hard drums, power chords and lots of space for you to shine. Major or Minor? Who care! There are shapes and fast licks for each chord. The Phrygian mode is you domain, but you might not know why it's called that and call it the John Petrucci Scale!
Steadily and silently you approach the keyboard player and have a chat on using the 3rd inversion chord arpeggios. The bass player nods and your other guitar player friends don't understand this lost ancient language.
While soloing you want to know the chords progression, have different approaches mapped out in your mind and know which chord tone works "best" on a specific situation. You are never "stuck" and know what to do in every situation - although this takes lots of focus and your face may be as rigid as the bass players!
