I am probably the last to know but I just discovered backing tracks. Tons of them on YouTube such as slow blues in G. Now I need to try to learn some solo riffs. Anyone have any favorite tracks to share?

Soloing is easy. Start with one note. Any note in the scale your playing in. Then make that single note sound good. Give that single note some life. Vary how hard and soft you make it sound. Mute it. Bend up or slide down to it. Hit it once and let it fade away. Now try it with two notes. I know it sounds weird now. But once you get into it you'll get it.
I don't really have any favorite tracks. Almost every track I hear I like playing over. Well all but the country pick'en tracks. I am really REALLY no good at playing country music.
