Generic shred happens because 'guitar solo' with no direction = Suno's default scale-running. Feeling comes from constraints: fewer notes, named feel, space.
1. Name the feel, not just the instrument: crying blues guitar solo, slow bends, vibrato, sparse vs shredding fast guitar solo — the first gives you emotion, the second gives you widdly. Reference players: David Gilmour style, slow and singing.
2. Demand space: emotional lead guitar, lots of space between phrases, slow bends, no shredding — explicitly banning shred is as important as asking for feeling.
3. Exclude: shredding, fast runs, scale exercises, widdly.
4. Give it a short slot. A great 8-bar solo beats a meandering 32-bar one. [Guitar solo: 8 bars, slow, crying bends] — brevity forces phrasing.
5. The guitarist's trick: generate the backing without the solo (stems-mute or instrumental section), then record the solo yourself or hire it out. Suno writes great songs; humans still play better solos. Even a simple heartfelt 8 bars you play beats a perfect-sounding generic one.
