- In todays lesson we will learn to solo with the g major scale. The G major scale is a powerful scale. We will also look at the G major pentatonic scale and how it compares with the g major scale. We will work with the G, E minor, C and D chords. They can be built using the g major scale. I will give you everything you need to solo over these chords in the key of G major. Here is a link for the G major scale positions. images.app.goo.gl/2pRmN2D4bGw.... And here is a link for the great backing track I used in the intro. • Guitar backing track i... . These are just a few tools to add to the tool bag but we all have a lot more work to do! So hopefully I will see you on the next one! Thanks for all your support!

This lesson is just a starting point but shows the power of the major scale in our guitar playing! Let me know if this was helpful. As always thanks so much for your support!
So helpful!
Yeah, very nice lesson, worthy and helpful, waiting for next chapters Rusty, thanks for sharing!
This vdo has value. Thanks for the lesson. Love from India.
Wonderful lesson.
@@alwyndsouza9892 I appreciate that. Thanks a lot for watching.👍
Yes I did get some good ideas here. Watching again!
I hope you watch it as many times as needed! Thanks a lot Tony✌️
Wow! This lesson really connected the dots. Thanks Rusty
Glad to hear it John! Thanks✌️
Rusty!!!!!! That beginning sounds so good!!! I’ll be honest with you, everything you tell us is helpful. Great lesson! Wish you a great week! ❤
That means a lot Michelle! Thanks for taking the time to watch my video! Enjoy your day❤️
Always good to hear from you Michelle ❤️

Thanks so much! Glad you liked the lesson✌️
Another good one..thanks so much rusty👍
Thanks a lot buddy! Always appreciated ✌️
Great lessons, learning loads after 20+ years of noodling on guitar!
Glad to hear it Carl! Thanks man ✌️
Hey Rusty, it’s a good thing you don’t live down the street from me because I’d be showing up at your doorstep with my guitar way too much and outwear my welcome ahah! As always thanks man 🤙😄
Oh yea, and we would have fun jamming for sure! Thanks a lot Thomas! 👍
Thanks Rusty. Super helpful lesson. I am struggling with chord shapes, especially the partial chord shapes to figure out what’s being played. Any videos to help out an old fart figure this out would be sooo great. Thanks, n keep up the awesome work. 🎸👊
Actually I use partial chord shapes in so many videos! It’s such a great tool for your solos! I hope you check some of them out Larry! I’m sure you will get some great ideas from them! I appreciate it Buddy✌️
Another great lesson. It's nice to be reminded periodically of the #1 thing I always forget: that scales can be played LINEARLY.
It seems I fall into the same bad habit of confining myself into all those little "boxes," and rarely stretch out across one string.
Thank you!
Yes the linear movement is such a great tool! I actually forget to use it myself sometimes. Sometimes better to start with that movement and then go back to some other licks! Thanks so much crash daddy! Talk to you soon✌️
This was a great comment buddy 👌
You play from the heart. So melodic
Always! Thanks a lot. Talk soon 👍
Thank you.. I feel more comfortable now playing this lesson 3 hours with breaks
That’s great! Thanks buddy 👍
Great lesson! 🌟🎶Thank you, Rusty.😊👍🧡 Awesome explanation and video.🎸🎶✨ Have a terrific new week.💫
Hey Colourful Girl, thank you for the great comment and you have a terrific week also! Thank you again❤️
I really like that Chords (triads) part in there Rusty!
Fun to teach and fun to play 🎸 Much appreciated Karen ❤️
Massive help again today Rusty. I had a great knowledge of chords but lacked in connecting the dots. I can't tell you how excited I am every time I pick up my guitar 🎸. You are awesome man!!!!!
That makes me happy to hear that Steve! I still get excited when I learn something new also! I really appreciate your enthusiasm bud 👍
Hey I want to tell you something these lessons that you're putting out are fabulous the missing link to my many years of guitar playing actually God bless you
Really glad to hear that Seth! We both needed lessons like this early on for sure! Blessings to you also buddy👍
Great share guitar player very nice
I appreciate that! Thank you✌️
Thanks for posting all of these lesssons! They have been very helpful in my effort to improve my lead guitar playing.
So glad to hear it Smokey! Thank you bro 😎
That was a very tasty jam in G Randy with a great sound well played my friend and of course your tutorial was top class as always , well done 🎸👏👏🙏🏻🎸
Thanks a lot Trevor! Much appreciated buddy ✌️

Very instructive video and it's always a pleasure to hear you play the guitar 👍🎶💗😊
Good to hear from you Aurore! Hope all is well! Thank you for the nice comment❤️
This makes so much sense to everyone. Im a long time player ..over 40 years now . Still learning something new every day... thoroughly enjoyed your efforts sir .. Many thanks 🙏
Thanks man! I’m happy to read your message! Much appreciated 👍
Brilliant video Rusty. You are amazing teaching and terrific player. 👍
Hey Leeroy, good to hear from you! Thank you for the kind comment buddy 👍
Awesome as always brother Rusty. God bless you always 🙏❤
Thanks John! Much appreciated buddy! Have an awesome week 🙏
Great video, many thanks! What is really helpful is getting away from box patterns and using the chords and inversions to help guide the music. I am finding the approach to be more helpful with building a moving melody than just focusing on chord tone targeting.
That’s a great way to put it, a moving Melody! I might use that in my video! Glad you’re getting something from the lessons Jason! Thanks for your support✌️
Hi Rusty, I am really enjoying yr lessons. Very accessible and fun to. Tnx!
Glad to hear it! Thanks a lot ✌️
I really appreciate these lessons that I can understand. Being in the intermediate stages can be overwhelming. I can run a little but I don't where to run to the A minor pentatonic gets a little old when it's all you're doing. To me there's so much info for complete beginners and for Wes Montgomery. But the intermediate level is hard to find a good teacher. Until now. Thanks again.
Hey Chuck, yes my channel is really focused on the intermediate player! Glad you are getting something from the lessons! I appreciate the positive feedback and your support! Thank you✌️
Brilliant buddy 👍🏻 I’ve been targeting the third of each chord and it’s sounding really quite good 👍🏻 thank you Rusty & enjoy your week my friend 👍🏻🏴🎸
So glad to hear it Dave! this stuff will really start sinking into your soul! Thanks buddy & enjoy your week also✌️
You are killing me Bud! Im addicted to watching your lessons. Im gonna have to get Wi Fi coz I'm slaying my data! How did Joe Walsh say it? Analog man in a digital world. Thank you so much...
Right on Timothy! I’m glad you’re liking the lesson’s! Thanks a lot and enjoy your Sunday 🙏
Always a pleasure following you... so much great guidance... so interesting you build this with a scale... love G Major ...you drew me in and sure kept me hooked dear one... keep them comin...✌️🌹
Very good to hear from you Therese! I really appreciate the nice comment, it means a lot! Hope you enjoy your day! Thanks so much❤️

Thanks a lot Bert ✌️
I can't thank you enough it's it's working out so good for me I never thought I could learn so much so fast then again I have an advantage because my hands are halfway decent condition because I've been playing cords and my own little thing for years on end
So glad to hear that John! Sounds like you’re having fun with your guitar 🎸 Thanks a lot bud 👌
Where the heck you been? I needed this a long time ago
Well, you found me now! Haha! Yes we all definitely needed lessons like this many years ago! I appreciate the comment Blake! Enjoy your week 👍
Thank you for the useful video. I like your playing
I appreciate that Remi👍

I am happy to help! Thanks a lot for checking out the video👍
Great stuff, thanks for your efforts.
Thanks Fender Bender! I appreciate it buddy ✌️
Man alive ,how long have you been playing, I started just to play my acoustic,for worship music at my Church,at 58 yrs old,but then I picked up a Gibson 335,and have been playing more leads,though my hands have done construction all my life,is there an exercise to help my hands.Love your lessons and God Bless
I’ve been playing since I was a teenager. And I do play on the worship team also. I have arthritis. So, I play in pain sometimes. But just keep your fingers moving and learn something new every day! We need to have fun and enjoy the instrument we have been blessed with! I really appreciate your comment Gary! Enjoy your holiday season.🙏
Awesome Rusty :)
Thank you Daniel ✌️
Another superb presentation Rusty 👍👍🎸🎸
Thanks a lot Tony ✌️

Really nice lesson! You have a terrific style. Subscribed. Thinking out loud here with a comment...I've been working hard to get better at improvising in major keys, and for me it seem super important not just to locate the triads of the chords in the progression, but to also figure out how they map out onto the tonic major scale positions that lie underneath each of them. That allows you to instantly "go back" to the major scale notes in G after you've highlighted the notes of the triad that speak to the chord change. For example, at 11:23 when you go up to the e minor triad on the 12th fret and bend up to the E, you also know that the G major scale in the "G" position of CAGED (root notes on 1st, 3rd and 6th strings) sits right underneath that triad, allowing you to grab non-triad notes from the G major scale. Then right after that, you play the triads from C and D with the "country bends," and those triads, which come from the C shape of CAGED, also happen to sit nicely within that G major CAGED position. Are you thinking like this as you solo?
Hey Tom! Thanks a lot for subscribing! Honestly, I don’t use the CAGED SYSTEM but I certainly use the chord shapes to visualize the fretboard. By what you said, in this comment, you know exactly what to work on. That’s exactly how I look at it. First I would find the major or minor pentatonic scale that goes with the progression. Fill in the dots with the major or minor scale. And then like you said, lying right underneath all of that are the triad chord shapes. Sounds complicated but if you map it out, it will give you so much confidence. I’m excited that you’re making these connections because that’s what Guitar playing is all about. Keep rockin bro.😎
@@rustysguitar1 Thanks for the reply and encouragement Rusty!

Absolutely awesome Rusty ❤❤
Awesome Julio! Thanks a lot 👍
Thanks for your guitar music Rusty... i really enjoy it..
I appreciate it! Thanks ✌️
Great lesson Rusty! Thanks, I know it and understand it, but I just can't make it sound that good. Even though the notes of the G Major scale are in each chord, you are playing the notes of each chord as it comes around in the backing track. This is what I need to be able to anticipate and hear when it happens. Practice, practice, practice.
One great thing you can do is really anticipate the D chord. And highlight the F sharp note which is the third of that chord. The other three chords are so closely related that you can play the major scale or the major pentatonic over those 3 chords. Then when you get comfortable with that, anticipate. the C chord. Start with smaller steps before you try to anticipate all 4 chords! But you are right you just have to keep practicing and you will start to hear the changes! Thanks so much for your comment and all your support man✌️
@@rustysguitar1 Hey thanks, Rusty. I did a loop of G, Em, C, and D. Played the G Major scale, then the E minor pentatonic scale. Both sounded pretty good over the loop. Thanks for the encouragement!
Unbelievable… thank you for explaining that. Very good and helps me really a lot
I’m happy that the lesson was helpful! Thanks👍

Another great lesson Rusty I'm finding these tutorials so helpful as I learn to chord tone solo.......I have a couple of questions I hope you don't mind.........so I can use the major scale along with the major pentatonic? And I can also use the relative minor scale? Also what scale can I play over a song that's in a minor pentatonic key? Thanks so much for all your help.............Paul from 🇮🇪
Greetings from the USA! Yes you can definitely play the E minor scale also. They are the same notes as G major but just starting on the E Note. Most of the time he would be able to play the minor pentatonic and the minor scale of the route note of the first chord. But I haven’t done a lesson in a minor key for a while! I need to do it! Thanks Paul, hopefully this was helpful 👍
Very helpful Rusty.........I'm.gonna really apply myself to learning the triad chord shapes by practing them for an hour a day nothing else just triad chord shapes.........I need to get them into my muscle memory........il still practice other stuff later on but I can see how important they are........I can also see how important it is to write stuff down and keep track of the chords and the notes within the chords especially the thirds
No problem Paul! All good ideas for practicing 👍
Sounds like Allman bros
Cool! They used a lot of major sounding licks! Thanks David ✌️
Sounds like Octopus's garden
Yeah, that’s cool bro 😎 Thanks 👍
Rusty, great video man, thanks! Playing notes of the background chord makes perfect sense. However, I'm a little confused at around 9:05. Looks like you just switched to play over Em and are playing G and D on fret 3, (high E and B), and bending the A up to a B on fret 2 (G). That is a D, G, and B which is a G, not an Em. (E, G, B) What am I missing? Thank you so much, this is a great approach you have.
You can always add the D note over the E minor chord. That is the minor seventh of the E minor chord. You can always interchange the triads of the G major chord and the E minor chord. Just adds a different color. I will continue to breakdown using triads in our solos. Thanks for the comment! Always appreciated 👍
@@rustysguitar1 Thanks! I guess I was locked into thinking you were only using notes from the 3 & 5 of the chord you're playing over. I see E min is the relative minor of G maj and shares the same notes so I get it now. Appreciate the response (and education)!
Anytime, bro😎
Great video, however I would like to ask if it is possible to get tab's made up. I live in a very rural area without internet and have to travel to library a few towns over to watch vid etc... take notes a little bit at a time. Is it possible to get this lesson or future lessons along with tab?
Hey David, thanks a lot for checking out my lessons! Sorry I don’t have tabs. These lessons are definitely geared for someone sitting down with a guitar in their hand. Thanks a lot for the feedback and have a great week ahead buddy.👍
Around 7 minutes in you talk about playing the chords across the neck using certain shapes. Do you have any diagrams or advice to easily find them so I can practice ? It’s kind of hard to tell from the video. Great stuff and thank you
Thanks for checking out the video! Sorry I did not use diagrams. I just called out the notes on the G-B-E strings. If you just do a quick search on TH-cam. For triads on the G-B-E strings. I do use diagrams on my more recent videos. Thanks again.👍
@@rustysguitar1 no that’s great. I will be able to look it up or figure it out based onthat info. Thanks so much !!
Dude..... I'm above a random guitarist onto Redeeming
But......... When it comes to playing solos and notes i fall a bit behind...... 😢
I needed a lesson onto becoming of a Pro Lead Guitarist!___can_you_please_drop_the_link_to_your_Lessons___
Ummm Had a mind on joining up to you....
Looking 👀 forward ⬅ to😊 it 😎

Thanks a lot Rodney!👍
Step 1: Learn the scale
Step 2: Learn the chords
Step 3: Draw the rest of the owl
Thanks for watching 👍
I struggle with trying to keep track of what chords are being played and then finding the right notes to correspond. My aging brain can't handle both.
That is not an easy task! I still work on it every day myself. I know if I started doing this when I was younger, it would be much easier! Keep working at it buddy! Rock on man✌️
What is the key to learning scales? Memory, pattern? Thanks
Try to memorize the notes on the low E and A strings first. This will help you know where the root notes are, to start the scales. Then just learn from there! Rock on buddy ✌️
@@rustysguitar1 Thanks I will start there and expand.
Sorry, I only watched the beginning. But the beginning really drives home my point i was trying to make. People on the music theory group that i belong to argue with me that the first chord means that that is the key the song is. Try explaining to them that thats not necessary how it works and you are on your way to a frustrating argument.
Thank you
Yes, there is a lot of variables in determining what Key the tune is in. Thanks for the comment 😎

Sound good but am confused friend.
Just using the G major scale to improvise. Thanks 👍
I have a question for you. Why do you play the seventh in the major scale? If you play a song like sweet home Alabama and you play the major scale and add the seventh in there. It sounds awful.
You would not use it in that song
excellent !!!! Thank You ! I have subbed
Thanks RZ! I appreciate the support👍
Me too!!!
