okay so here is where i'm at. i've been playing guitar for about three years so far. i can play the major and minor scales and most of the modes in any key up and down the fretboard, i also know a few blues scales and otherwise "exotic" scales. i understand the whole CAGED deal and i know some basic chord theory, enough to compose and solo and whatnot. i know and have mastered basic and somewhat intermediate playing techniques like hammer-ons, pull-offs, slides, trills, ect.
but my predicament is that all of my playing is starting to sound the same. i'll play a song and solo and it will sound nice but the next solo won't sound any different. don't get me wrong i still have the passion and i still feel it but it isn't as exciting as it once was. so does anyone have any tips for me on becoming a better, more exciting guitarist? i mean i ultimately want to be able to entertain an audience with my playing, so i feel my playing should be more diverse and maybe more technical? i'm not sure, but if anyone has some pointers i would really appreciate it.
