Firstly the main rift is more E7 sound but using m6 triads sounds cool.
Then the chords are B7 C7 B7 Bb7b5 A7 B7
I have come the conclusion the B7- B Mixolydian C7 - C Mixolydian or C Half/Whole
Bb7b5 - Bb Lydian b7 or Half Whole works,
Its been fun looking at this!
Ooooh gosh no, seriously! And I might understand the theory but that doesn’t make me a good artist!
And come to think of it, that’s the muscle I’d be pulling when creating a solo - the artistic, not the scientific - so, not working out what pool of notes to use (though that is an approach certainly) but letting my heart make a great melody then making my fingers reproduce it. Or try to anyway! And maybe only then use my brain to work out what I’ve played and why it works.
So I’d first decide what sort of sound I wanted - melodic? Funky? Rocky? Fast? Spiky? Then I’d get my mind’s ear to sing something over the progression that i wanted to hear - something that fits and conveys the mood I want. If it worked over the chords I’d stick with it; if not I’d discard it. Chances are it would work, otherwise my inner ear wouldn’t have allowed it to happen!
Then I’d work out what I’d done. I think!
I’ll have to try it now and see if that’s actually what I’d do

For soloing over the main part, like you, I basically use a bluesy E Dorian (i.e. an added b5), but might throw in some chromatic passing notes. I suppose I could also get away with a major 3rd (G#) as well over E7#9.
For the chromatic chord movements, I use B7, C7b5, B7, Bb7b5, A7 then B7#5.
When soloing over that, I just play low root notes because I like the sound. Alternatively I could pick out notes from the chords or maybe tweak my basic scale to fit the chords, which might be as follows
B7 and B7#5: temporarily modify the basic scale to have D# to fit the 3rd of the B7
C7b5: temporarily modify the basic scale to have a C instead of a C#
Bb7b5: aim for a blues lick involving Bb

Put the guitar down. Hum something you think fits. Then something else, then another one. Work out how to play all of thos melodies on a guitar. Pick the best bits, and put them together - that is your solo.
Then - if you really want to - work out what scales those melodies use.
Yup.
@fastonebaz that was bloody brilliant.
And I’ve just realised for the first time your name isn’t fast tone baz, it’s fast ONE baz.

Having said that, while playing musical phrases, I have in mind some sort of pattern or reference points (call it a scale if you will) from which those phrases are derived.

'Palette' that's a good word to describe it. I've been struggling to find the right word, so I'll nick that.
Your solo was great but it was only over the E vamp i was looking at the changes in the bridge.
But thanks for all the advice. I actually did the scale route and then used my ear to work on something that sounds good!
I might give it another try and think in a more melodic fashion but humming a melody first to see what happens.
