Very nice lesson on how to make your solos more melodic by adding new ideas and new ways of thinking while playing. Something all guitarist need to do. I enjoyed your examples bringing the ideas to life!
I broke out of the box over 20 years ago thank god! I'm not a school player. The few lessons I taken were guys who played in toured with Albert collins, Albert king, Stevie Ray Vaughan Johnny Winter I learned by sight, and my ear I do not read music. I'm not into fancy scales, I dropped playing rock and roll and strictly love playing Blues.
Thank you. Would I be correct in understanding that it is the relative minor of G major and the modes used emphasises the F#? but played as pentatonic. The 9th being the F# used the E minor pentatonic
@@totalguitartransformation, are you saying "C Major arpeggios go well with the key of E minor"? You are adding the minor 6 of the E minor scale with that. You also seemed to mention a D Major 7 arpeggio (which contains C#, the Major 6 of the E minor scale). I'm confused. Wouldn't the D7 (Dominant 7th) arpeggio be better if you have a C Major in the progression?
@@Donmusicman no, D major instead of C major. The F# note is the 3rd of D major and the added 9 of the Hexatonic approach. The method #4 was a Gmaj7, g b d and f#. Make sense now?
TOTAL GUITAR TRANS, APPROACH#2 Playing a B minor STRUCTURE inside an E minor pentatonic scale, the B minor is the minor (v) chord, how is this hexatonic? Do you start and end on the note B instead of E? for APPROACH#3 Playing a D major STRUCTURE inside an E minor pentatonic scale, the D major is the bVII Chord, how is this hexatonic? Do you start and end on the note D instead of E?
@@waynegram8907 good questions! Just think of the note material. Bmin = b d f#, so the 9 is being added. Dmaj = d f# a, again the f# (9) is being added. Make sense now?
@@totalguitartransformation Yes I get you added the (9), but also you're using the B minor Structure WITH the 9th. The B minor structure or the D major Structure is a "color expansion" in Fusion Blues. These "Color Expansions" are POPPING OUT of the minor pentatonic scale. The added 9th is the 5th of B minor structure and the added 9th is the 3rd of D major structure. The added 9th has a different "function" depending on which structure you're using as a "color expansion". You should do more video lessons about color expansions. Carlos Santana uses a lot of RESTS notes and GRACE notes using the 9ths and M7. The RESTS Notes makes a big difference to getting that Latin Rock tonality. Carlos Santana also uses that B minor Structure and D major Structure in a minor pentatonic box.
@@waynegram8907 that's exactly the point, correct. The 9th is a "color expansion" (I like that term). The goal is to create interesting melodies with the 9 in Emin that don't sound like playing a scale. At least that's my goal! 😀
@@totalguitartransformation Its its called " color expansion OUTLINING and IMPLYING. What you're doing in this video lesson is OUTLING a B minor structure or Outlining a D major structure in an E minor pentatonic box which is IMPLYING a new tonality. The main question is you have 3 options to END the phrase either on the B note, D note or E note? which one do you choose to END the phrase on. This is what Fusion Blues, Fusion meaning Outlining other triads and Implying other tonalities. Gilmour used "pentatonic substitutions" by starting the minor pentatonic BOX on the 3rd chord tone or 5th chord tones instead of starting on the root tonic. Gilmour also uses a technique called "CHASING" 3rds or chasing 5ths" , chasing 5ths chord tones per each chord change creates a darker totality. You should do a lesson about chasing 5ths. Classical Composers would chase 3rds and chase 6ths per each chord change. Classical Composers and Jazz Composers used "Guide Tones". If you do a lesson about GUIDE TONES
Best friend, best brother, best musician, best teacher, I wish you success and happiness always.

Awesome! Glad you're digging into the melodic Hexatonic world! 🔥🎸😊
Beautiful solo !
@@bradsims5116 thanks mate!
Awesome lesson! I just got your amazing book. Very helpful and challenging!

@@jimkostan9932 awesome Jim. Do you like the melodic approach of the soloing in this lesson?
Brilliant lesson, thanks! New subscriber, lots to learn in this video alone.
@@coloaten6682 excellent, welcome to my little world of learning 😎🎸
Pure gold!🔥
@@Jets21 thanks 🙏
Thanks a lot Mr. Someone!😊 ... it was practically useful for coloring and adding taste...
Oh no! More than coloring، very valuable to enrich the melody...
@@shahriaralmassi7086 glad to hear! There is way more waiting for you 🔥🎸🚀
Great lesson! You just opened up some doors for me thank you very much!
Awesome, glad to hear!
Great videos . Joy them . Love hear that guitar sounds great
Glad you're enjoying it! 🔥
Is That the '61 Rory Gallagher guitar? I love playing those!!!
@@jimkostan9932 it’s a rip-off that the guy I bought it from did himself 🤷🤠
Sounds great but it would be good to know what the chord progression is to make sense of the structure
No problem - all chords are portrayed in the backing track: th-cam.com/video/go2NlmO5pzM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=yuuKt71ByHS88aoD

@@martinaustin5316 that’s a good way to see it, yes. Just know that the e note is being omitted on purpose for a more open sound.
👌

something is wrong with the video -- been getting this error for a couple of hours ... "We're processing this video. Check back later."
I’ve been noticing this. I’ll check and see if I can find out what’s going on.
@eaisser fixed it. Thanks for the heads up!
