Dude, this might just be the best soloing lesson ever posted on You Tube
Wow, thanks!
@@RJRonquillo I'm not even kidding Bro, I'm not a novice, been playing decades and in the You Tube revolution I watch many many great players, Pete Thorn, Tim Pierce etc for new tips to improve my playing and this is by far the best and easiest to follow method I've ever seen anyone teach. Nobody needs any more than this. If they follow your instruction in this video there is literally very little else anyone needs to be able to develop killer soloing and over any chord changes. Been on your channel since you had less than 20k subscribers. I'm in Sydney Australia BTW. Love your work. Michael
Smokin Gun I agree 100%! Been playing 30 years this year and have never come across such clear, concise and important information presented so thoughtfully and with such great execution.
This not only gave me instruction on what’s next and answered my questions I’ve been thinking about for years but gave examples of how to pass these hurdles, and RJ made it easy to understand and think about so that I can practice this and continue moving forward!
I couldn't agree more!! - So many useful and also easy to follow steps/principles... - I wish I had just only THIS info and 45 minutes lesson 30+ years ago..., I think that would have opened up the mystery of playing across the neck so easily...; R.J. is one of the few really outstanding teachers here...; I like when he mentiones he lets his ear guiding him more than the actual shape... - it's what I have leaned to a lot... - and while it takes probably much time, leading to a lot of wrong notes :-D - I think it helps developing th ear and melodic feeling. Great Stuff R.J. !!!
@@RJRonquilloHe's not wrong, dude. You hit on something with this one. I'm heading over to your Patreon page right now...
"If you're not a fan of Hendrix"
I see they've chosen death
If you play electric guitar and DO NOT like Hendrix, you probably SUCK... gnome sayin’?
i came to comment this 😂
😆
I skipped through the video so I was wondering the whole time why none of it sounded like Hendrix.
Or ignorance unfulfillment apathy artless apery & bimbosity.
Let's forget how good the lesson content is for a second and celebrate that glorious tone.
Jimi style Strat, strung righty 👍
It's gorgeous isn't it.
Lol regular ass clean setting to me. Not saying it’s not good but not really special in any way. Almost any guitar is capable of this you can hear the feel from his fretting hand quite well. Just good playing. 👌🏿
The tone is from his playing. That’s just a regular amp setup dials at 12 o’clock.
The mad lad is even playing a upside down lefty guitar
Joel Oneill I was going to say it if someone else didn't!
Jimi Hendrix's guitars were also upside down =)
@ dude being a leftie guitarist is so damn hard ro find guitars since I'm kinda broke. Playing a right handed guitar pisses me off a lot at times cuz if I get too into it I accidentally fuck with knobs and my cable n shit. That's why acoustics are my main
@@Mrp00p3rs Oh yeah, I haven't thought of that. The knobs get in the way sometimes when you're playing upside down.
@@nedim_guitar yea shit is super hard
Just FYI:
Level 1 ~ 2:15
Level 2 ~ 6:50
Level 3 ~ 11:45
Level 4 ~ 19:15
THANK YOU- THIS IS GREAT, I LEARNED MUCH BESIDES ONLY THE SONG!!
You just took my 25 years of guitar playing to the next level in 25 minutes. Thank you!
I really like your playing and personality, been playing it for 25 years, various versions Clapton srv and Hendrix versions, then the various live versions. Thats all we had to go by in 90s. I love ppl like you giving a new generation the keys to the sports car and teaching them how to race it.
Congratulations on posting one of the very best if not the BEST video on How To Solo Over Little Wing. You passion, desire, and expert playing of Hendrix’s music really shines through. R.J., this should be one of the best guitar videos of the year on TH-cam, seriously. Fantastic job. You set the bar on this video. Pagbati
Wow, thank you!
Wrong.
Do you get race driving lessons from a bus driver too?
You're delusional.
Not 1 item was used from the jimi hendrix brand equipment.
You've been disrespecting the jimi hendrix brand for 30 years.
You're deaf and blind.
Yep. Rj is fantastic. I've been around a bit and I could watch him play all day.
Absolute gold standard for a lesson man! I've taken in person lessons and bought online courses that haven't had half the applicable knowledge you managed to fit into a 20 minute video. Love the way you highlight both the chord being played in the progression and the scale used to solo over it.
You're actually very wrong and can't read branding words and can't hear that's not jimi hendrix sound or the 100 + official jimi hendrix sounds.
If YOU talk about jimi hendrix you'd better buy jimi hendrix or else you're getting reported for spam and misleading information.
This is the first channel I’ve found that has described how to switch modes with each chord progression, where it actually makes sense. AWESOME job teaching.
Wow, you could literally just use the soloing techniques in this lesson and be better than 90% of lead guitarists out there. This was amazing. The best and easiest to understand lesson I've ever seen on soloing. Just wow!
Wow, thanks!
Its been 2 years since first seeing this video. Ive come along way and its 100% because of this video. This was the video that made everything snap in my head.
When you realize you were level 0 the whole time
Legit your first basic solo over the pentatonic scale made me tear up, I love it bro I can’t explain how this sound makes me feel. Every single time I listen to it, and that’s multiple times a day, I just see myself playing that live for people and letting today’s world hear it tooooo, I know I’m a few years out but I will learn to enlighten people just like Stevie and Hendrix! And I will show the world this beautiful noise 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
Wrong.
Not 1 item was used from the jimi hendrix brand during the making of this video.
We've reported this clownery video to the authority.
You should be ashamed of your comments cause your wrong and now you'll have to go to the doctor to get your eyes checked and hearing checked.
There's ONLY 2 ways to experience the jimi hendrix equipment and playing sounds.
You either buy the original pedals and guitars and amplifiers OR you buy the alternative option from the jimi hendrix brand.
Jim Haubert here not Lisa, thanks for this, I teach guitar and this is so refreshing to pass on to my students, the complex simplicity of this and how to approach playing is just an understatement!!! Great lesson here with how to think and approach playing with the relative major and minor scales, big fan R.J. It's as plain as the nose on your face, you just have to look, you're a pro, thanks!!!
i'm a professional teacher myself mainly piano and keys but loads of people still want to play bass and guitar.....infact there are far more prospective students for the stringed things....anyway I just want to say Your delivery and teaching method is Wonderful , I'm so pleased I stumbled upon this fabulous lesson and your good self Thanks RJ !!!
RJ,
That was super. That is probably one of the most simplistic and info packed lessons on soloing. That lesson is just as useful for an advanced beginner as it is for an intermediate player. Bravo.
Glad you liked it!
Wrong.

Dude! I'm so glad I came across your lessons, they are just where I am at right now expanding on pentatonics and phrasing. Rock on!
The first solo in Em pent' is absolutely delicious
Absolutely ! One pentatonic scale, one position, and such a melodic solo...
Definitely Gilmourish!
@@latchodives one position? He goes through every position. It’s reminiscent of SRV version of little wing.
@@megadave1197 We're talking about the first solo a.k.a "Level 1" (from 3:00 to 3:42), he stays in only Em pentatonic, first position, and yet manages to play such a melodic solo.
@@latchodives Yea true very melodic although when he moves into level 1 but using all the positions it really opens up
RJ!!! Holy cow! This is the best lesson I’ve ever seen to get me solidly out of that level2-3 area! Thank you for all of your great content but please keep these lessons like this coming! This is By far the best “playing over the changes” description and exercise on TH-cam and with a great example song!
Awesome! Thank you!
Its all wrong information and is extremely disrespectful to jimi hendrix and his brand.
You've been reported for misleading comments.
RJ, I’ve been playing guitar for 40 years and this is by far the most concise explanation of the “how to” guitar soloing methodology! Thank you and I love your demo videos and vlog videos too! Thanks again 🎸🎸
Glad it helped!
Me too brother. I plated pro for a for my share. And rj impresses me so much I can watch his videos all day.
RJ - Super helpful! Any aspiring lead guitarist could learn SO much from this. You gave me clarity on things I've been trying to master for the last 40 years
You're an incredible teacher man, very relatable and NOT terrible to listen to, unlike so many others. Thanks!
He actually chose not to buy anything from the jimi hendrix brand.
He's delusional.
Nothing jimi hendrix was happening in this video.
@@dreyn7780 fair enough, it’s free to make TH-cam videos so show us how it’s done!
Hey rj. You are a great player and teacher too. Don't listen to snobs who forgot what rock and roll is. Funny how they inject their snob ways even into rock and roll. Play on brother. I really dig what you do
Me: Level 0, unadulterated pentatonic noodling
Me too, bro.
gotta start somewhere, eventually you'll get so comfortable with pentatonics up and down the neck that you'll be able to play melodies straight from your head
@@messer81 That's very true.
My too, but as long as you enjoy what your playing , what's the problem. Use this lesson to nudge you on gently towards the next level.
This is why I've always said it's much easier for a child to learn an instrument. Whatever they play pleases them. For you, your taste is accomplished but not your finger work. It takes much more perseverance to play when you're not happy with what you are sounding like. Stick with it, your playing will come around sooner than later.
I concur with Smoking Gun (and I'll assume others), and I rarely post any comments on YT. I've been trying to take more measured steps to really focus on playing the right scales and modes over the correct chords, and this lesson really gave me a great framework to tackle several chords in one song, that obviously reoccur all over blues and rock. Thanks RJ. You are an excellent teacher (and axman!)
VERY clear and helpful lesson on how to approach soloing...I've been playing over 40 years and this was a nice reminder on the different options!
I straight let out an oof when he said "now on to the second way"
Dude your "beginner" level is better than most players ever get
Great tutorial that not only helps you navigate this song, but many others. Sean Daniel said learning Little Wing is what opened his eyes to how the notes are all interconnected on the fretboard. That's how I stumbled upon this video as I pursue Little Wing. I really like your Three Approaches concept. Sure we could try to learn it note for note, but maybe it's better to learn the feel or essence of the song first. After all, Jimi probably played this song differently every time he performed but he always made it memorable. Thanks again!
NO jimi hendrix brand equipment was used during the making of this video.
If YOU think this was little wing then I must be rich and famous.
"It wasn't my greatest solo." I like that quote RJ! Seriously though, I liked the last section a lot. My girlfriend is always playing this song on her big D28 and it drives me crazy. Now I can perhaps show her the possible solo concepts. Me too, really useful video man. Thanks
thank you. practicing triads over this song (my favourite one) have improved my guitar skills x10
That might be one of the nicest strats I've ever seen...and its a lefty haha
I’m curious why he’s playing a left handed guitar right handed. Why not just play a right handed guitar?
@@graphicartdude its because Jimi played a right handed as a left.. this is just the other way around to get some extra feel.
And yeah its awesome so i understand way he would.
Best guitar tutorial I’ve come across. I’m sure I’ll watch it 100 more times. Liked and subscribed.
Has anyone else ever seen a video with over 1,000 likes, and, knock on wood, NOT a single dislike. I’ve got get him on my Patreon support. So genuine and focused on the players in his audience of all skill levels. Amazing. Kudos
This video was reported for misleading information and spreading lies and confusion towards the jimi hendrix brand.
You've had enough time to realize you're delusional and to remove your comments.
If YOU don't buy anything from the jimi hendrix brand and you start blabbermouthing about your jimi hendrix sound, you're clearly sick in the head.
You're NOT playing anything jimi hendrix.
You're not listening to anything jimi hendrix.
You don't have any of the 100 + official jimi hendrix sounds.
Not 1 of you is actually thinking for yourself.
The jimi hendrix brand has been around for 30 years.
This is by far one of the best improvisation lessons on TH-cam
Thanks for this amazing lesson! It's one of those rare "24mins of lesson, 12 months of pratice" moments. I've restarted guitar after a 10year pause, and I'm currently struggling at level 1 to have melodic solos. It's nice to see the road ahead !
I've been obsessed with this chord progression for 40 years. If I'm honest with myself, I'm probably beginning level 3.
GREAT LESSON!
NO official jimi hendrix equipment was used during the making of this video.
There's over 100 + official jimi hendrix sounds to buy and none of them were used in this video.
30 years of disrespecting the jimi hendrix brand is terrible.
I stumbled across your video, and immediately recognized you from a slow blues intro you played on a Quist backing track I watched a year or two ago. very useful video fro me. thank you
This lesson literally encompasses almost all of my playing techniques. If he does just a few (sloppy) taps at the end, I may have an existential crisis. Literally all my improv playing over or along with tracks is basically this. Rip some min. pentatonics, followed by some arpeggio picking over the appropriate chordshape. I'll never be a smooth sweep-picker or anything, but its a good idea to learn these techniques to build up different 'comfort zones' all over the neck and learn how to incorporate them with the chord changes of the rhythm section.
One of the best feelings as a player with aspirations to shred is when you first realize you can improv jam along with a Jimi/SRV tune and just by your knowledge of the song's progression, you can play harmonious lead lines seemingly effortlessly from muscle memory and the innate knowledge base you've built up in your head over time, learning the instrument and his style. Feels good man.
That's an absolutely fabulous lesson. Some of the less musical steps (eg sticking to triads, then arpeggios in the same position) are amazingly useful exercises.
One of the upsides of the present lockdown is that I am practicing guitar properly for the first time in 20+ years, and I've found a new love for studying guitar stuff. Based on your lesson I've decided to take 2 songs with interesting chord structures (Little Wing and Here,There, Everywhere perhaps) and spend the next 6 months trying the same steps you outlined over each of them.
Thanks!
That might be the most beautiful guitar I’ve ever seen...
Frrr
I might have finally figured it out. Been messing with all of this but couldn't put it together. With a framework of little wing and your four steps, I am think it has clicked. Many man thanks
Increasing the level step-by-step is a great way to approach this and works for my brain.
What a fantastic lesson! RJ your tone is incredible, and you make it easy to tell it’s in your fingers. Thank you!
Not 1 item was used from the jimi hendrix brand OR the original jimi hendrix equipment.
None of this clownery was anything to do with jimi hendrix.
Here is how to really practice the guitar impro by learning scales, triads, and full arp with one of the most beautifull song ever wroten.
RJ i am becoming an addict of everthing you post...
Thank you so very much!
Take anything you want from us...anything....
that strat its just too beautiful
God damn. I’ve been working at this for years and wish someone would’ve just sat me down and said “this is where you’re headed and here’s how it will sound when you’re there.” Seriously excellent.
I almost never comment on TH-cam videos. I have to comment and say this is one of best guitar videos on TH-cam. It might even be the best! Thanks.
Just FYI:
Level 1 ~ 2:15
Level 2 ~ 6:50
Level 3 ~ 11:45
Level 4 ~ 19:15
thanks bro
Suddenly I see the light! Thanks for this great lesson
Fantastic lesson! I’d say the best sounding was level 1 though :) it’s incredibly hard not to sound cheesy playing nothing but triads / arpeggios over chord changes, especially in non-jazz context. I find the most satisfying approach (to my ear) is stick to a scale (either modal or pentatonic or both) in the key, then use very small bits of a triad (or even just a single not e or double stop from the triad) to emphasize a chord here and there, especially if that chord is outside the key (like F). But even when the Em first goes to G, because G is so harmonically similar to Em, it sounds awesome when you briefly take a break from Em pentatonic and hit the 1st and the 3rd from the G maj triad.
wise words here!
Wrong.
You're delusional.
Its actually FALSE advertising and we've reported this clownery.
Thanks for sharing! Great stuff :)
Every now and then something just clicks, you did that for me with this, thanks so much. Liked and subscribed dude!
R.J. I've been teaching for 20 years and I cant think of ever seeing someone articulate so many essential concepts so well in such a short amount of time. I actually use the G to F transition in LW in my introduction to modes. Anyway, phenomenal lesson. Thanks.
that tone is unreal
You're an amazing guitar player man! Thank's for sharing your knowledge and your tips!
Sorry for the bad English,
From France🇨🇵
So much knowledge given here, the keys to the kingdom
The first video I watched you play was the If 6 was 9 fuzz demo from Solidgold fx, where you played a solo over Little wing. That was I guess 5 years ago. Your playing there blew me away....the dynamics, technique, playing through chord changes...for me your playing was and still is out of this world. And 5 years later, you are showing what you actually did in that video. Thank you so much RJ
great lesson man, thanks for breaking it down and jazzin it up! awesome learning material in this one
I don't know if this is the best guitar instructional video on TH-cam ... but it is definitely in the Top 10 ... should be required viewing for any student of guitar ... doing a few of these each year would be priceless and invaluable ... well done!

Phil, you've been reported for misleading comments towards the jimi hendrix brand.
Disrespect the brand for 31 years and you'll be reported again.
Great timing. I've been on this journey for a couple months, learning maj/min pentatonics and arpeggios in all positions, and trying to get to Level 4. Almost there! This video is a perfect, succinct roadmap. But to anyone attempting this, my advice (having suffered through really trying to learn it) is to take your time at each step and really get the patterns down. It's cool when you get them internalized and they start to "come out" seemingly their own. So worth the effort! And Little Wing is a great vehicle - much more interesting than sticking to I IV V, etc. Thanks RJ!!
That was a great lesson RJ. What I found interesting was that Level 1 could sound as good as Level 4. I am overwhelmed with Level 4 now and it was kind of a relief to realize that. Love that shirt by the way!
I completly agree...you can pick up great ideas at each level...these are not really level. Its more tool 1, tool 2 etc....
👍
vodoo 57 You're right! Hendrix used tool 1 afterall.
Its all wrong information.
We've reported this clownery video.
You've chosen to not buy anything jimi hendrix.
Now We stop YOU trying to fool us.
I’ve always been a fan of “Less is More”. I joined your Patreon today. You are quite incredible, and since you’re proton where near Ohio, this is the only way to benefit from your talent
Dude this is absolutely incredible. Best lesson you’ve ever done and maybe even the best lesson on this subject ever done. This really strings together a lot of concepts I’ve been trying to work on. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate this man. You really went out of your way and it shows. I just want you to know that you definitely helped someone!
What a GREAT video! I have been playing guitar for over 40 years and you just showed me you never stop learning in this life. Very inspirational, a superb lesson for all levels. Your solo at the 6 minute mark was sooo tasty! Thank you.
Thanks RJ for an excellent and comprehensive summary of how to solo with scales and arpeggios. Frankly, one of the BEST I've seen on the net. This is a video I can keep coming back to as my skills progress. I really like that you overlay the chord and scale in the upper left hand corner. Good "training wheels" to have as I explore what works over the chord. Great song choice as well since it includes the first six chords of the G major scale, a passing chord and an non-scale chord to boot. PS Bonus points for the matching guitar and strap. I see what you did there... ;-)
I wish you did more of these types of videos now days.
i combined this with a Richie Kotzen Em all positions lesson,,, & my day went well, Thanks RJ ♥
Wow I don't even know my scales and that made soooo much sense! I really like his style of teaching and let's not to forget to mention that sweet smooth but crispy tone.
This is such a very excellent lesson RJ. You communicated all the approaches in the best way possible, and the examples were spot-on. You totally deserve to be the guitar hero that you are on YT and in the rest of the musical world.
Thank you!
Best lesson ever! Thank you so much!!!
3 years on and still THE BEST VIDEO ON TH-cam!
Best explanation I've seen. Thanks
As an instructor (in an unrelated field), this technique is how most other new concepts are taught. I'm glad to see this teaching technique used for guitar playing. Great job RJ!
This is a nice condensed lesson on the typical trajectory of soloing competencies from a basic theory standpoint. It's a very useful roadmap for someone just starting out, or still stuck in that first position Pentatonic box. It sort of untangles the myriad tips one might get, and puts them all together in a natural linear progression from beginner technique to more advanced technique, pretty much demistifying the whole mess. Well done.
We’re entering jazz territory, but don’t worry kids, we can still make it sound rock and roll lol
Eduardo Orozco Coba okay old man
"One chord is fine. Two chords is pushing it. Three chords and you're into Jazz"
-Lou Reed
Absolutely great explanation... Now I have some homework to do. Thanks!
Utterly fantastic. This video should be required watching as an introduction to soloing. I was really hoping to see you just utterly destroy this chord progression as inspiration at the end but I'll take what I can get.
I 100% agree Andrew! I'm just starting to get into soloing with minor penta and major scales together or practicing minor penta over chord changes and this video is excellent. It feels great to be able to understand what Ron is saying, even if I can't quite play the level 3 and 4 stuff yet, I can grasp the concepts and its really fun trying not to make your 1st position penta sound like a scale, lol. It's so hard right now, but its getting better! Also, he's right...playing over little wing progression is so damn fun.
Nicely done, especially clarifying the one note difference between the major scale and myxolidian.
...it makes my head smoking ;-) ...but great lesson, thank you !!!
That strat is badass !
Brilliant lesson - thank you! (I made it to level 3, which I'm happy with, and your explanation of level 4 is vry useful as something to work on!)
Excellent!
How I learned to play the blues. I thought Blues scales were how you did it. So I tried to play Blues scales and it didn't work least not for me. Then I listen to the tempo and timing. And I said ah, that sounds a little better. Then I did some pausing and extreme bending and I applied that to regular pentatonic scales. Then I realized it's all in the timing and the great ones like Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Joe Satriani, Gary Moore, Ritchie Blackmore are all great Blues players in reality. It's all in the timing. To be a better blues player more extreme bending is essential. But not in all cases. If you just play Blues scales without any technique it wouldn't sound very good. Yngwie has a song called blue that doesn't have any blues scales and sounds amazing that's at a much faster tempo
Awesome lesson RJ. This has to be one of the best soloing lessons ever.
That one time TH-cam recommends was spot on! New sub! Really informative lesson to help me soloing in general. These 4 steps way of teaching is awesome, gives me a natural progression in practicing :) How can I practice level 3.2 of staying in the same position for all chords?
Thanks for the sub! To practice the one position, pick a position and go through all the pentatonic scales of the song, in that position (Em, Am, Bm, Dm) . An easy starting place would be 12th fret position.
@@RJRonquillo alright, thnx man!
I've been looking for a lesson like this for ages, so easy to follow and super instructive!
Holy crap RJ, your content is nothing short of amazing. Wow.
awesome. great pace and relaxing manner.
thnk u rj!! been jonesing for a little wing solo tutorial from someone that knows what theyre doing for years!!!
A great set of changes. If you know a horn or keyboard player have them play their ideas/lines. They don’t have to look at a fretboard for patterns too.
N. J. Sonye exactly. I’m sad I didn’t learn a single not instrument first. I feel like those who did are much more melodic in their soloing.
This is gold content! Very enlightening, a super practical approach to soloing which is something quite frightening and confusing for beginners or even some intermediate players. To the point and well broken down. Awesome! Thanks RJ.
Thanks for watching, hope to see you next Coffee Q&A!
Incredible lesson RJ!
Nice one man!! DO you know a fuzz that would sound good for that lead tone 😂
Yes and a vibe
Do you know who’s a better guitar teacher?
@@kontanus LOL
Nice to see Brett Papa play the Shill, lol!
Of course I use Dunlop ffm3 fuzz face ! Just keep cool on the fuzz knob 😎
RJ - I am sure that there are many guitar teachers who could benefit from this lesson. You just clearly explain the various levels of learning how to solo and how to asses where you are as a player. The good news is that I am at level 4.5 at least for this song (which is slow tempo and in a key a can deal with - play the same song in Eb would be another issue for me). Not sure where I would end up in a song with this many chord changes but say double the tempo. Probably back at level 3 at best. Thanks again
Just what I needed. I'm at about level 3 so your video is perfect for me. Something to work on for sure
Excellent tutorial and very tasteful playing too👍👍❗️Thanks very much, RJ🙇♂️And you make me a very proud Pinoy too💪❗️
Thanks for this. It's a really nice method for building up to chord tone soloing
Really impressive playing man.
This is probably the best lesson format I've seen on TH-cam
