CUFF ’EM.

This article from Guitar World discusses the use of "handcuffs" as a soloing device in guitar playing. The author explains that "handcuffs" refer to the practice of limiting oneself to a specific position on the fretboard, forcing the player to create a meaningful solo with limited options. The article provides examples of solos played within specific positions, highlighting how this approach can create a thematic and narrative-driven musical development. The author encourages readers to try applying this technique in their own solo explorations. [Extracted from the article]
