    Henry,

    How to learn to play guitar solos? I can answer the question right here! Here’s the approach I recommend for starting out learning to play guitar solos:
    Play along with backing tracks:

    Playing along with backing tracks works like this:
    - download a blues backing track in the key of a
    - get a chart of the pentatonic scale (your root note will be at the 5th fret on the 6th string)
    - play any note in the scale over the backing track
    Its great fun being able to make up your own lead parts.

    There’s a website that has much more detail about this and other ways to learn. I’ll include a link below so you can dig deeper.

    Good luck,
    John John
