15 Minutes To Better Solos - Guitar Lesson - Melodic Soloing Tips and Tricks
Музыка
In this lesson we explore how to make your solos more melodic. We do this by learning how to find different chord shapes within our pentatonic scales. Once we can do this we will be able to have the confidence and skills to solo over almost any common chord progression. This lesson will show you a quick tip to finding major pentatonic position one, also how to find the chord progression chords within it. Good luck! Happy soloing! Thanks for watching!

self taught dudio here - ive had friends alot better then me and watched hours of YT tutorials to find this gem of someone just explaining the basic structure on how things work - no riff raff, no intimidating theory, and for gods sake no click bait IE actual help. It's unbelievable how many videos are this exact same thumbbnail but manage to literally say absolutely nothing in 15 minutes. You managed to cover the fundamentals of scale structure, key tones, triads, and do it coherently, no BS, as well as even kick start the viewers to start getting into the theory of it all. From myself, and the past two years of myself, thank you. Wish more videos were like this - teaching the whole concept via fundamental knowledge and technique with no BS :)

22 years of playing and full time guitarist/bassist here. Mad props and love the lesson. I hate that i just 'noodle' in the right pentatonic or mode but have been ignoring the actual chord tones for my target notes over each chord. cheers sir! sharing this for my musician buddies

I have said it before, the best conceptual guitar instructor on YT. Not a compliment, just an observation. I finally understand the point of the CAGED system. So simple. Yet in every CAGED tutorial I have watched there was never enough practical application for it to be useful to me(despite watching entire series on the topic). Yet in this video, which didn't even focus on teaching the system, there was. That says a lot, even though it was the second time I watched it. Many thanks, you are a great teacher...that was a compliment. ;-)

Thanks for another great lesson Brett. I really love the feel of your playing. Everything sounds cool. I'll need to learn some of those ascending and descending runs you do every now and then.
One of the better lessons I have seen on KZread. Really made me understand what I needed to do to improvise! THANK YOU!

BEST video I've seen. Not only how to do it but what and why!! Now I can play chords with scale tones thrown in and scales with chord tones! Just add the minor third, F#m, in the Am form, and you have I, iim, IV, V, ivm and the pentatonic scale all in one place. Now to add other positions and more chords. You opened up a whole new dimension for me. Thank you.

I wanted to say that I passed over your videos first time around, but I am so glad I came back to give them a second shot. I am trying to teach myself guitar online, and I found that I really appreciate your teaching style. It makes learning a lot more interesting than other online lessons which I find can be really dry. Thanks so much for your efforts.

Love your tutorials, jokes and your laugh. It would be hard (for me :P ) to improvise, finding all those chord shapes and tones while the chord is progressing (and not knowing the chord progression beforehand). Haha! I hope that made sense.

More than welcome. No one is more useful(to me) illustrating the concept of combining major/minor. You have a knack for it. You put up a small amount of incredibly useful illustrations that allow me to work on the concepts for many hours off of a 10-20 minute lesson. That is substance. I like the content, I like the approach and I like the presentation...beyond that though....;-) Thanks again. You have no idea how useful your lessons have been to me.
