Well, I have been playing guitar for a year and I really want to take my playing to the next level. Currently, I know all my pentatonic scales in every position and every key. I can play them well and pretty fast, but I feel like I’m missing something in my solo’s. I only know the bluesy-pentatonic-licks, and I really would like to learn other scales to spice up my playing.

So, what other scales should I learn to help improve my solo’s?

Usually I play metal and stuff like that, and I really want to start being able to shred, so any advise to improve my playing(solo’s, speed, phrasing, exercises) would be very helpful!

Thanks in advance!
