I'm doing Sweet Home Alabama at a gig at the weekend.
Not a song I especially like, but we have a singer from the Southern States and we're doing some nice harmonies so hopefully people will like it.
The problem is it's got three fricking guitar solos in it (a nice problem to have I'm sure some of you will say). The first one is easy I'll just follow the record, but I'm a bit stumped with the others. For some reason I just have zero inspiration and just end up noodling.
That seems to be all you find on the record so maybe that's fine, but I'd like to do something a bit better.
Any ideas?

G mostly (and mostly using the good old E minor blues box to make it G major)....but D works as well. These days I'm just playing it in a four piece (single guitar/bass/drums)...I used to be in a band with second guitarist and keys...I'm actually preferring the stripped down way we play it now.
(Do it like Neil)
On the Classic Albums (I think) the prdocuder said do it in D.
I'd go with Gmajor/Eminor myself. But I'm occasionally wrong.
