Playing guitar solos over slow blues can be a lot of fun. It may be a bit different than playing over a fast tempo, but that doesn't mean it can't be just as enjoyable.
I recently had the opportunity to play a slow blues solo. When I was playing the A minor, I tried to have some fun and do blues-style things because I had a lot of time. I emphasized certain notes within the chord shape. For example, I could go for the minor third.
When the D minor came up, I targeted the D, but the minor third was the big one. I went for a four-note grouping, which sounded really nice over the D minor. When the A minor came up, I dropped back to the ninth. When F and E came up, I played a major, emphasizing the chords somehow.
With slower blues, it's important to make a connection rhythmically. I tried to go for my BB King box and when the E came up, I dropped there. When the A came up, I went back to the minor pentatonic.
There are lots of cool things you can do when playing a slow blues solo. It's all about staying within the groove and making sure that you emphasize the chords. You may have to adjust your playing style a bit, but that doesn't mean it can't be just as enjoyable as playing over fast tempos.
If you want to give it a try, I recommend starting with a slow blues jam track and take it from there. Have fun with it and remember to emphasize the chords.
