[Domi Kova]

Hello my name is Domi i starter playing guitar about a year and a half ago but I have a problem when I start playing something more complicated I sound like a robot for an example I started to learn critical acclaim solo and I can play it but it sound robotic so does anyone have any tips or suggestions about not sounding robotic

Thank you for your time

Inflections are kind of the human element of it all. So for example vibratos, bending, rakes, slides etc make you sound human. I'm not sure you're doing those already but if not maybe take a look at those.

You know, when I read the title, this is what I thought of

Serious though, the "trick" is to practice something so much you don't have to think about playing it and can start having fun playing it, putting your soul into it.

Use any type of slight string bend. Not even a quarter tone. Try to use more vibrato and don't be shy of playing naturally, it doesn't have to be perfectly on the time. Don't worry about playing few milliseconds behind. Add some feel to it - don't focus on having constant dynamics all the time. Try to improvise over things. It will help you a lot even though the improvisation will not be on a Syn's level.
