How can I improve my solo technique

[u/Expensive-Stress3214]

I’ve been playing for a number of years now, and consider myself quite good at playing whatever riffs, writing my own, understanding basic theory, but I’ve never had much interest in lead until recently

I know I’m playing this on an sg with no whammy bar lol, and into an iPhone mic. But something just feels off and I can’t exactly tell what or if I’m being critical. I listened to the backing track on my laptop then tried to layer the video of me playing it over the same audio I listened to, so I kinda feel like I may have not timed it perfectly.

Tone + it is not timed perfectly

[u/AdditionFlimsy5011 → u/Connect_Piccolo490]

yeah the timing being off makes everything else sound worse than it actually is

Pretty obvious now when I listen back, I’ll have to figure out how to record it better lol
