Is it cool to add a guitar solo for songs who didn't have one?

[TonyMetal___86]

Personally i think that some songs would fit a guitar solo which makes it better to hear and i have 2 guys whom i think that they are the best in this field...

Jon Dretto & Roy Ziv, what's your opinion about the whole "adding a guitar solo to songs that lacks a solo?"

[sage2021]

Yes, I think so. In fact when I listen to some songs I can't wait for the part where there is a guitar 🎸 solo - but it shouldn't be too long because then it turns the song into a guitar solo instead of a song.

Always nice to add some guitar to rock things up.

[TonyMetal___86]

That is true, especially if it's well harmonized with the melody 👍🏻

Which guitarist (s) do you like? Lead and solo.

[TonyMetal___86]

I have many, but i'll list some:
Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen, Carlos Santana, Kirk Hammett, James Hetfield, Dimebag Darrell, Toni Iommi, Michael Angelo Batio & many more...

Nice.

What do you think of this solo by Mateus Asato in a Tears for Fears cover (Head Over Heels)? You can fast forward to minute 5 if you wish to.

I have listened to the whole song, it's a cool song and the solo fits great in it, he looks skilled, thanks for sharing 🙂

[AI Opinion]

Adding a guitar solo to songs that originally didn't have one can bring fresh energy and depth to the music. It allows musicians to reinterpret a track and showcase their creativity. Jon Dretto and Roy Ziv are indeed masters at this, and their solos often enhance the song's emotional expression. 🎸 Ultimately, it's about taste and the song's vibe, but it could absolutely be an exciting artistic choice!
