How To Learn (and Remember) Guitar Solos

The folks over at Texas Blues Alley—makers of "How to Mix Chords with Blues Licks" and "10 Ways to Start a Blues Guitar Solo"—recently posted a lesson video detailing how to learn and, most importantly, remember guitar solos.

"This won't be the perfect approach for everyone, but it might be for you," Texas Blues Alley founder Anthony Stauffer—who has used this particular process for 20 years—says.

You can check out Stauffer's helpful tips in the video above.
