Came across a fascinating video demonstrating some stellar, 'outside the box' playing. Joe Bonamassa, Tommy Emmanuel and Josh Smith. All three bring more than just scales and bends to their soloes. Its really a great example of how to think beyond just the notes, and how to approach the notes. 

Smith plays some blazing licks, but the notes are clear and fit perfectly. Emmanuel then demonstrates that soloes don't have to just be notes and scales. And then Bonamassa displays how volume dynamics and how you approach the note can give a unique and memorable take. 

Enjoy!
