Mannnnnn, I've been playing for 15 years and i can shred all over the fretboard, but only in one key. As soon as an odd chord pops up everything falls apart. Ive been learning about arpeggios recently and the way you explain everything here is so clear! Thanks soooo much for this man!
This is a great lesson, as per Kam below I have always struggled to follow odd chord progressions, but your explanation has unlocked the secret (hopefully), now to go and practice ........... Thanks David 🎸👍
David, understand please that I mean this in a good, positive way: this lesson is "spooky", the way it makes not just a light bulb, but a FLASH bulb, go off in my musical brain ! I'm going thru the 3-day trial now and I intend to pull the trigger on the full 30 lesson program when I finish the trial. You raise the on-line guitar teaching bar quite high my friend: thank you.
Excellent ! Merci David et merci le CAGED système. Je suis justement en train de travailler cette façon de faire sur une grille de blues Majeur. Ça me renforce dans ma démarche...
Thank you so much David, I think your video just helped me to get a deeper insight. I would love to hear if I am on the right track. I was always puzzled by the two approaches that one can solo over a chord progression let's say Am and D using a mode in this case A-Dorian or ,just as we learned in this video, chord by chord. I just realized that if I bring A minor pentatonic and D major pentatonic in the same region of the fretboard I obtain A-Dorian. So obviously these methods are closely linked as long as the chord progression is made out of chords that belong to a particular mode otherwise the chord by chord method is more general. I guess I am just scratching the surface here. Would be interesting to learn more along this line.
Very good lesson- I've been working on this very thing for sometime- I have to admit that keeping it simple with just two chords and sticking with the minor pentatonic in both cases is a really helpful way to create catchy melodies- honestly once you're "fluent" with the changes it's very much like you're playing a 7 note scale anyway- and when you can time the melody changes anticipating the chords with either shared notes or chord tones, really beautiful and memorable phrases start to create themselves. In other words- music instead of noodling! I have found for me that once I start to internalize the changes I can play without the backing track altogether and still hear each chord change within the soloing/ melody line. Good lesson. Nicely done here David.
I noticed that many Rock guitarists who are considered good but not great, still have the skills to shift their scales/arpeggios to the chord changes. Do we acquire this skill by practicing with a loop or sound track?
Thanks! Great question. Some will say that there are rules, but I find that using completely random chords will work and sound great as long as the arrangement and melody on top follows those chords. All the tracks built for the new Visual Tracks System were randomly generated. Here is that link: www.guitarplayback.com/course/visualtracks/
Little tough to explain through the internet. It has to do with the circle of fifths and the relative major/minor keys. A C# Minor is the relative of E Major, whereas a Db minor would be the relative of Fb Major. The key of Db Minor therefore would be Db Eb Fb Gb Ab Bbb Cb. Basically the use of double flats or double sharps is avoided because it makes things look a lot less clean. They are the same yes, the same way you could say that a C note actually a Dbb. it makes sense but it's not the best way to name things. If it helps just know that C# is Minor and Db is Major.
Once again, great stuff. Already helping so much
Binging these videos while working from home and learning so much. You're doing a great job sir !
Such a simple idea explained simply that works great!

Thank you man, that means a lot!!
Thank you sir....still loving you
As always, an excellent lesson.
Great lesson, loves these lessons
Very good guitar lessons ♥️🔥
Wow, you look fit man. That's the way to go.
Thank you brother!
Excellent lesson well explained thanks

Thank you soooo much for this lesson! Very helpfull for me/us. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Thanks David. Great lesson
Woah, good catch
How about a series on building fusion chord progressions?
Thank you great lesson
Dave you are the man!
I love you! There's hope yet!

you are amazing man
David can you still make videos about songwriting ,melody creation, backing track creation other than improvising?
Thanks David!
Thanks David ;)

Chord tones baby!
Well, I’m going to have to watch this one again. That concept just bounced off my forehead.
😂😂😂😂
Great lesson, makes sense thanks David. How would one determine those 2 chords for a vamp? What makes them work together?

@@Wallimann thx and I’ll check out your course. Still have many of your purchased materials to work through, just need more time. Cheers.
Thank you so much!
This is very usefull 🤩👍🏻
any reason why you refer to the first chord as a C# instead of a Db? otherwise this makes great sense and was well laid out, thank you!
Might be he was using C# to avoid confusion.

It has to do with the circle of fifths and the relative major/minor keys. A C# Minor is the relative of E Major, whereas a Db minor would be the relative of Fb Major.
