In my opinion, it's just the best way to improve as a guitarist, and to really learn how to play the guitar.  It's how you learn to take control of your guitar.

I have always learned lead guitar solos myself... especially rock guitar solos.  It all comes from listening... and then innovating whatever technique you need to play the solo or lick correctly.

Notes, licks, scales, timing and feeling ... you master all that as you learn a guitar solo, and as you look at how each lick makes sense with the chords behind it. 

 The technique will come naturally as you try, over and over,  to play each lick until you get the lick down perfectly.  And you will begin to recognize common rock and blues scales after playing several solos.

Just learning scales and chords misses a lot.  It misses timing, rhythm, feeling, intensity.  When you learn a solo up to speed, in the correct timing, and play it with feeling... you've learned to take control of your guitar!

If you really want to learn how to play guitar, and have some fun while you're doing it ... just play a guitar solo!

All the best,  Tom
