and i think it can be interesting when a guitar solo follows a melody line, but only when he adds something to it and resolves it differently than the melody does
Yes I agree, aspects of the melody showing up in the solo can work wonderfully, but when it's just a carbon copy of the melody (most of the solos on the green Weezer album) it seems very bland to me. I often think this is an easy way out for the guitar player.
