This section will be growing slowly but surely.  Personally, I feel learning guitar solos is essential to musical growth.   The ear is trained in this isolated experience because there is nowhere to hide; every note is laid bare. Because of this the player is left without the crutches of multiple strings (chords etc) and forced to truly listen to his/her control over the instrument.  In this state the real awareness starts to happen.
