Guys like Eric Clapton often add chords during some solos, and they sound really good. So how exactly do I add chords on solos.
Should it be during the first strum of the chord or the last? How much chords from the progression should I add? How can I make it not sound awkward? Thanks a :-Dlot!

Experiment some complicated chords, like jazz chords, using fifths, sevenths, etc etc. and add some staccato, power chords, barre chords, and licks

Actually, there are no fixed rules about this. Personally, sometimes when I'm out of licks, I just usually make double stops or just strum the chords until something goes into my mind again.
If it sounds good, then it's good. :)

I Do what B.B. King does, hit the note on the 1st string(octave) and slide back... or vibrato mode...

it's more of feel when you're gonna get some chords in that solo.
say, if you're just about to dish out a steady two bars of eighth notes, why not use an arpeggio of the chords (or related ones) in the progression?
a single strum of a chord that lasts one bar? try it on the 1 and/or the 3 of the measure.
listen to piano music, maraming gaun kahit sa classical, just to have a sense kung saan bumabagsak yung mga chords :)
