Hey everyone, let me know if this lesson was helpful and where are you at with your theory. This will help me when I put together future lessons! Thanks for all your support!✌️
This was great! Two things I'm wondering after watching it: 1- Landing on the 3rd sounds great at each key change, but what about when playing A minor pentatonic over A major? Do you play that minor 3rd anyway (C), or stick to the 1 and 5 (A&E). I'll go find the answer by trying :-) 2- In the final solo, I'd love to have seen labels (or just heard them called out) when switching between scales. This would help me duplicate, and build association with the sound.
@@danwoods4269 for the first question I usually either hammer on from the minor third to the major third or slightly bend the minor third and back to the root note A. Just playing the minor third (c) does clash with all three chords. That can sound bluesy by adding the major third by bending or hammering on. And yes great idea to call out or text on the screen the chord changes and the scale I’m using with that chord! These are great questions and you got me thinking about some upcoming lessons I really appreciate it Dan! Enjoy your Sunday buddy🙏
Best guitar info online!! Amazing content Rusty. I’ve been playing for 40 years. I like the fact that you explain shortcuts that will have people playing melodies in a couple hours. Is like sitting down with a friend. Love what your doing.
I think we over complicate improvising. Play a few choice notes and have fun!!! Thanks a lot for checking out the video and leaving this great comment! Later Leroy 😎
THIS IS MUST LESSON for all those who want to learn soloing. I wish II had started with major chords instead of with blues chords . I had spent two whole years on trying to solo in blues and not getting no where. Don’t get me wrong I love the blues but I wish I had started on a lesson like this then moving onto the blues. Thank you Rusty. Your teaching is direct , inspiring and you explain everything so well. I just wait for your solos at the end of your lessons..and spend days taking them apart just to some more of you. Truly inspirational music.
Man, I’ve struggled to fully grasp how soloing works. This video has made it so much clearer and brought me to a better understanding though I have a long way to go. Thanks so much for taking the time to put this together 👍🙏🎉
The biggest thing is make a connection from the cord to the scale that you are using. I did not do that early on and it took me decades to grasp! If you start doing that now you’ll never regret it! Thanks for leaving this great comment and have a good week✌️
Hey guys could you imagine being able to spend a day with Rusty and jamming with him and being able to learn in person from him. Thatd be amazing. Your such a good teacher rusty. Your one of my favorites on TH-cam. Learn so much from you and you make it simple for us. Thanks rusty
This is one of the best comments I’ve gotten in a long while! Thanks so much Shane! Starting in November I’m going to have individual and group online lessons. I definitely will make an announcement on TH-cam when I start doing that I’ve had other people ask for those lessons! I really appreciate your great feedback and your support buddy! Hope you have an awesome week ahead! Talk to you soon✌️
@@rustysguitar1 awesome man. That's very exciting and I'll be looking and waiting on that announcement cause I will definitely be interested in the lessons. This is amazing news rusty, I cant wait for November now. See you on next weeks video my friend. Have a good and blessed week rusty!!
You are really a great teacher. You gave aspiring lead guitarists a valuable lesson about soloing in just 10 minutes. While everybody else teaches philosophy of soloing rather than required technicalities.😮
A good rule to follow is the low/high rule... Start out low and move your solo upwards as you go and finish on a high bend or vibrato-note. This builds tension in the listener's ear. The other thing to keep in mind is that speed playing sounds more interesting when you set it up with more lyrical lines. If you play fast all the time with no space in your playing you'll just bludgeon people to death sonically. I see this in Nashville a lot. Some incredibly advanced technical players who just can't "shut up" for lack of a better term. To qoute the late/great Lowell George who had to scold bassist Freebo once during a session.. "space is a place". 🤘
Yeah man! This is such great advice! And most of the guitar players we know and love play that way quite often! I appreciate the comment! Thanks so much and enjoy the upcoming week✌️
Wow! I’ve been playing for years but this is the first time I’ve ever seen a comprehensive and doable lesson on how the release the melody. Thanks heaps.
You almost have Look ahead at the changes. So you can start looking at your next set of notes before the chord change happens. Not an easy task!!! try to do it every day with everything that you are playing and will start to become second nature. But I still have to work on this every day myself and always want to get better at it. So you really never arrive but just try to keep getting better each day! Thanks for your support and the comment. Talk to you soon. Enjoy your week👍
Hey brother this lesson was helpful, when it comes to theroy and technique not to mention which chords go with which scales or triads I might as well be a beginner even though Ive been playing more than 20 years... So tks for breaking it down... Basics and coralation of chords and scales using good technique explained and slowly shown is what Ive been looking for.... Tks again
Hey Raymond, I have been playing my whole life but started looking at some theory maybe 5 or 10 years ago! I have only scratched the surface. I feel like a beginner sometimes myself! Thanks so much for your comment and support man! I appreciate it ✌️
Once again Rusty, thank you for your lessons. Your experience in the learning process of the “guitar player” is exactly what I need. Simple, concise and to the point. At 68, I have no time for BS. Cheers. Jaime
You’re right, at our age we don’t have time to be messing around! Just get right to it and have some fun! Thanks a lot Jamie for checking out my videos! Have a great week👌
Just can across your channel. You are the first person to make sense of this. It is amazing how experienced players make this happen instantly. New subscriber.
Thanks Joe! I still work on this every day myself trying to connect the chords with the scale for sure. I appreciate your support and thanks again for leaving this positive comment! Enjoy your Sunday🙏
Hey Lee, that was a lot of theory in this video! I had many other questions about that! Honestly you can build a solo with the major or minor pentatonic there is so much more to put in. Just a little theory is needed! Thanks so much for the comment and support! I appreciate it ✌️
Yeah man! Just add a few notes to those chords! And it will help your rhythm playing by adding some melody to those chords! Thanks so much David! I appreciate your comment ✌️
Hi Rusty I just want to say a big thank you ........I can improvise in the key of a song but never was able to make it melodic and this tutorial along with your other ones are a great resource for me and many others........I'm going to spend the next few months doing a deep dive on these tutorials and really internalise and study chord tone soloing ...........again a big thank you Paul from Ireland
Greetings from the USA Paul! knowing the notes is only the first step. Making it sound like music and having a good flow to the notes is the next step for sure! I am working on a way to get that point across better in some upcoming lessons! I really appreciate your comments and support always! Enjoy the rest your week👍
@@rustysguitar1 that's great Rusty I really look forward to all your tutorials........I can make it sound bluesy and it definetly sounds like music but I'm only improvising in the key of the song...........your tutorials are really gonna help me break out of that type pf playing
Rusty and all… Good Morning ☀️ or good Day, evening. 🌙 Rusty, I came back to this lesson and slow down… This is absolutely outstanding, the feel we can get from the 3rds and the root notes, just incredible! I am focusing on this, the next several days, sometimes giving ourselves room to breathe when we study music and Guitar is what is necessary in order to understand the nuances. THANKS AGAIN RUSTY…. YOU ROCK WITH FEELING! 🎸🎶
That’s awesome Doug! I go back to lessons all the time. And you’re right, the little things make all the difference. Thanks so much for all your support! Talk to you soon.👍
Very helpful. An eye-opener for me was finding out that progression was in D. LOL. I would have said A. Knowing it's in D allows you to play up the neck on that Dmaj scale. Learn something new every day. Thanks!
Yes that is a sweet note! I still have to work on this every day myself but it’s well worth the effort to get better at this technique! I appreciate your comment and support! Have a great week✌️
That Bible behind you looks well used! The lesson is great… But it does my heart Good to see God’s word behind you as well. God bless ,thanks for your work.
Thanks so much! Blessings to you! The Bible is not staged there for sure, I read it every day in that same spot! I appreciate the uplifting comment! This is one of the best comments I’ve got in a long time! Much appreciated! Have a awesome week 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
1st of all Thankyou , for doing this lesson . This is my first time watching you Sir, and it will not be my last, I have just watched a Master at work, what you showed in this lesson was if i am correct in my understanding was a masterclass on understanding the guitar in all its glory.
Thanks so much George! yes and the more you are confident with the notes that you choose the more emotion you can put into your solos!!!!!!! I know when I am confident I can really let loose on the guitar! I appreciate all your support and your kind words! Talk to you soon George👍
Wow ! Amazing. Thanks for doing this video. I’ve been stuck on the pentatonic scale up and down using one or two blocks. It’s boring to play and sounds boring. I think this video has given me the ingredients to get out of this plateau I am in. Cheers
That is a prime example of a guy who really knows how to pick the right notes. Sweet solo Rusty, I could listen to you solo for hours. I’m in bed and my wife just told me to turn it down so gotta go but wow I really enjoyed this. Love your humility too!
I’ve been noodling for years with only minor pentatonic and I’ve been so bored. This lesson makes me want to play again. Looks like I need to learn the major scale and learn where the notes are on the fretboard. Thanks so much for this lesson
You hit it right on the head for me. I wish your were fairly close to Tupelo, MS, I'd start taking private lessons from you. You've a get gift of articulating that other channels don't.
I wish I would have seen this video sooner! As someone who struggled through the process of what am I supposed to do/learn/practice this video does a really good job hitting the key points. The most important thing in my opinion is practicing in different keys with different scales and figuring out where the root notes and key notes are (chord notes/3rds/7ths whatever) that you want to highlight specifically for the mood of what you're playing. To me, that is how you really develop your voice and allows you to be more comfortable letting what you hear in your head flow out of the instrument. HAVE to get the muscle memory down. The phrasing comes with even more practice once you're fingers know what they are doing and you don't have to think about it much or at all.
I gotta say you are the best teacher I've seen. You and a amazing player I'm taking a break from a 4 day 8 and 9 hour practice thank you for posting this.
Cool lesson how to combine everything and glue everything together . I must say your approach has that Southern Rock feel and sound ... the Allman bros band stuff .. there’s this almost happy vibe .. enjoyed this lesson getting structure in a solo .. 😊
Always appreciate your feedback John! When I hear a track like this, that’s what comes out of me! I love that style! Thanks a lot for your comment buddy! Have a great week ahead ✌️
There's a lot of very valuable information here to dig into. Knowing some theory as well as training your ear will provide a wealth of options to enhance your solos. Thanks for an important lesson!
Thanks Corey! Honestly I’m not very good with theory myself, I have to work on it every day. Early and I did not work on it so it really hurt me later on. I really appreciate your comment buddy! Enjoy your Sunday🙏
Great lesson, explained very well, I’m an older person who knows a few chords and would like to play more lead guitar, keep the lessons coming. From the UK
Great lesson! This helped a lot in a lot of the chord progression blues that I’m trying to learn! So it’s like 2for1 Get to learn the chords and their triads, and soloing through the progression! Thanks!
Thank you Rusty for this gift. This is a very nice concept that is worth learning. Definitely it will change my approach to studying guitar. I have been stock and frustrated for a while and I was thinking on giving up, but your video changed my mind. today is a happy day. Thanks again Rusty.
Awesome lesson. Thank you! That has to be a record for the most helpful information in the shortest time. I never thought to play the Major and Minor scales of the 5 chord over the progression to add variety while focusing on the target notes of the scale. I'm going to make a point of hammering on this with progressions from my looper pedal. Cheers and thanks again.
Hey J S, There’s a lot of ways to solo but, you can’t go wrong when using the notes in the chords!!! A looper pedal is a good way to practice. I still work on this stuff everyday! I appreciate your comment and support! Have a great week ✌️
@@rustysguitar1 Thank you. I'm noticing that the 1 and the 5 major scales sound good, but my minor 5 scale seems out of place. Is there only one chord where the minor 5 scale sounds the best?
@@JS-nf1sn I like to use A minor pentatonic over the A chord briefly, and then switch back to the major sound for the other chords. The C note clashes But if you bend it slightly to the major third (C#) that sounds bluesy! Happy jamming buddy! I really appreciate the comment J S😎
The A major pentatonic for sure. When Using the a minor pentatonic scale the C note is the one that clashes! I’d like to tweak it up to the major third and then play the rest of the way through scale! I appreciate your comments and support! Thank you✌️

Excellent video. I'm a singer rhythm player for the past 60 plus years. You may have inspired me to play lead! Thanx.

Excellent Rusty :)
Much appreciated Daniel! Thanks buddy 🙏
I’ve been noodling for years with only minor pentatonic and I’ve been so bored. This lesson makes me want to play again. Looks like I need to learn the major scale and learn where the notes are on the fretboard. Thanks so much for this lesson
Hey James, just learned that stuff in little sections on the fretboard and then expand from there. Have some fun jamming! Thanks for the comment man✌️
You hit it right on the head for me. I wish your were fairly close to Tupelo, MS, I'd start taking private lessons from you. You've a get gift of articulating that other channels don't.
It would be fun to jam with you! I’m glad you found my channel Marty!!! Hope you have a ROCKIN week 🤛
Very much appreciated!! Fantastic job of tying it all together.
Greatly appreciated Brian! Thank you ✌️
Thanks for breaking this up in chapters. So helpful. Nice guitar also
Glad you liked the flow of the lesson Tony! Thanks a lot buddy 👍
I wish I would have seen this video sooner! As someone who struggled through the process of what am I supposed to do/learn/practice this video does a really good job hitting the key points. The most important thing in my opinion is practicing in different keys with different scales and figuring out where the root notes and key notes are (chord notes/3rds/7ths whatever) that you want to highlight specifically for the mood of what you're playing. To me, that is how you really develop your voice and allows you to be more comfortable letting what you hear in your head flow out of the instrument. HAVE to get the muscle memory down. The phrasing comes with even more practice once you're fingers know what they are doing and you don't have to think about it much or at all.
This is such a great comment! Words of wisdom! I think we all have the sound in our head and just need apply it to the guitar 🎸 Enjoy your Sunday 🙏
You have just got to be my favorite guitar player, Amen.
I’m happy to hear that William! Thank you 🤛
Really like your teaching,step by step you present thats
Yes, I took more time with this solo lesson! Glad you liked the video. Thanks Refusi ✌️
Wow great lesson! New sub! Ty!
Glad you liked the lesson! Thanks so much 👍
And it's great hammering onto that Major 3rd to kick-start things. You've been super helpful 🤠
Yes that’s such an easy way to sound melodic! Glad you are getting something from the lesson’s! Thanks a lot Lee ✌️
I gotta say you are the best teacher I've seen. You and a amazing player I'm taking a break from a 4 day 8 and 9 hour practice thank you for posting this.
That is great of you to say, James! Practice is good, but we all need a break! I’m glad you like the lessons and enjoy the rest your week man 🤛
Cool lesson how to combine everything and glue everything together . I must say your approach has that Southern Rock feel and sound ... the Allman bros band stuff .. there’s this almost happy vibe .. enjoyed this lesson getting structure in a solo .. 😊
Always appreciate your feedback John! When I hear a track like this, that’s what comes out of me! I love that style! Thanks a lot for your comment buddy! Have a great week ahead ✌️
There's a lot of very valuable information here to dig into. Knowing some theory as well as training your ear will provide a wealth of options to enhance your solos. Thanks for an important lesson!
Thanks Corey! Honestly I’m not very good with theory myself, I have to work on it every day. Early and I did not work on it so it really hurt me later on. I really appreciate your comment buddy! Enjoy your Sunday🙏
That's how great '70s solos sound. Is there a genre today using these sounds (except for TH-cam music)? 🙂
Those are the guitar sounds that I grew up with! So many of us love guitar playing of the 70s! Thanks for the comment man 👍
Great lesson, explained very well, I’m an older person who knows a few chords and would like to play more lead guitar, keep the lessons coming. From the UK
Right on Kevin! You’re in the right place! Hope to see more of you! Thanks man🤛
Great lesson!!! Keep up the good work. This video filled in many gaps in my understanding. And, btw, your playing is TASTY!
Glad you got something from the lesson! Thanks so much John! Greatly appreciated ✌️
You have earned yourself a subscriber Sir.
Well I really do appreciate it man! Thank you and have a great week ✌️
Great lesson! This helped a lot in a lot of the chord progression blues that I’m trying to learn! So it’s like 2for1
Get to learn the chords and their triads, and soloing through the progression! Thanks!
Thanks Jeffrey! Really glad you are taking away ideas from the lesson! Your comment and support are greatly appreciated bro 😎 Enjoy your Sunday 🙏
The school of Rock salutes you music brother Rusty there
Happy days
That’s awesome! Thanks a lot 👍
Thank you Sir. Very simple, but a very powerful tutorial.

Thanks a lot Rex! I really appreciate you leaving a comment! Have a great week ✌️
Very much helpful for creating solos, Thanks for the lesson Rusty.
Thanks so much buddy! I really do appreciate your comment! Enjoy your weekend ✌️
Thank you Rusty for this gift. This is a very nice concept that is worth learning. Definitely it will change my approach to studying guitar. I have been stock and frustrated for a while and I was thinking on giving up, but your video changed my mind. today is a happy day. Thanks again Rusty.
So glad the video changed your mind! Just have fun and be yourself! Let’s go through the guitar playing journey together! Thanks Fabio ✌️
yes.its a gift
Great lesson , I wish you the best on your channel
Thanks Bigdad! I appreciate that! Have a good week ✌️
Love your approach. I’ve been playing for 60 years and still learning and for some reason your way resonates for me more than other.
We are all still learning. But now I have fun learning. Glad you liked the video Jim. Thanks a lot buddy 👌
@@rustysguitar1 I agree. That's what has kept this guitar playing so interesting for so long... there's no end to it!
Have a great weekend Jim ✌️
Awesome lesson. Thank you! That has to be a record for the most helpful information in the shortest time. I never thought to play the Major and Minor scales of the 5 chord over the progression to add variety while focusing on the target notes of the scale. I'm going to make a point of hammering on this with progressions from my looper pedal. Cheers and thanks again.
Hey J S, There’s a lot of ways to solo but, you can’t go wrong when using the notes in the chords!!! A looper pedal is a good way to practice. I still work on this stuff everyday! I appreciate your comment and support! Have a great week ✌️
@@rustysguitar1 Thank you. I'm noticing that the 1 and the 5 major scales sound good, but my minor 5 scale seems out of place. Is there only one chord where the minor 5 scale sounds the best?
@@JS-nf1sn I like to use A minor pentatonic over the A chord briefly, and then switch back to the major sound for the other chords. The C note clashes But if you bend it slightly to the major third (C#) that sounds bluesy! Happy jamming buddy! I really appreciate the comment J S😎
This was good down to earth guitar lesson.
I appreciate that buddy! Thanks for your support✌️
Great lesson. I knew these chords were in D but I would not have thought of using the A and Am pentatonic.
The A major pentatonic for sure. When Using the a minor pentatonic scale the C note is the one that clashes! I’d like to tweak it up to the major third and then play the rest of the way through scale! I appreciate your comments and support! Thank you✌️
That was a great lesson ! I really enjoyed the song you put together .
Thanks a lot Eddy! I appreciate it buddy ✌️
