    Tip 1: Stick to a key
    Tip 2: Repeat riffs
    Tip 3: Contrast low and high notes (add bass notes)
    Tip 4: Suggest chords (play notes from chords, especially extended chords to construct colorful melodies)
    Tip 5: Chromatic notes + chord progressions that change + connect different chords with intermediate notes (such as inverting chords or playing a note shared by the current chord and target chord)

      Which is still music; so my advice would be to try and come to an understanding that it doesn't need to be flashy or virtuosic like TH-cam and the media pulls us into believing sometimes. In my opinion it's always better to play a small pinch of notes that mean something than to bark out licks and phrases that sound cool or impressive. Music isn't about being neither one of those things, and in the guitar world especially, the line between music and 'style' is perhaps sometimes too thin. Learn to play to play and create music, not to tinker. Only our minds remember virtuosity; our HEARTS remember music. Blues is beautiful and worthwhile music to play which I also think in the guitar world can sometime be overlooked because it's viewed as DEFAULT, when it shouldn't be that way. And in many aspects modern guitar playing nowadays has become too nerdy so we forget the honest reason why we should be playing music to begin with. So enjoy playing what you already know and as your ear develops more and more you will begin to hear new ideas naturally. But certainly continue to watch videos that inspire you because that's what it's all about in the end. Keep it up, Jake, and the rest of you all.

    Love these lessons Paul - This is why I subscribe on TH-cam and Patreon. Can you do a series on this type of playing? This is exactly the type of lesson I have been looking for - how to create a groove in a jam situation. For example when my friend will play a bass line,I can "noodle" a pentatonic line - but how do make that interesting, and how do I match that line with a cool chord progression that is not just major and minor chords in the scale. Love your stuff!

    • @kilgoretrout321
      @kilgoretrout321 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm trying to do this better myself. But commit to song structures when you jam and you'll end up pulling stuff out of the vast musical knowledge you've built over the years by simply listening. For example: Learn the 12-bar blues. So, play over the same chord 4 times, then the fourth twice, the 1st chord twice again, the 5th once, the fourth once, and the 1st twice with maybe a little 5th sprinkled in before you stop. Practice this progression in every key (start at the difficult ones first, like Gb and then work your way to easier ones like Dmaj or Fmaj). Also, practice it using different BPMs and different subdivisions. So, try it at 50 bpm, 70bpm, 110bpm, etc. And use One and Two and or One two three Two two three Three two three....or One e and ah Two e and ah Three e and ah Four e and ah. That will influence how many notes you play in between each beat and what the groove is like. Doing all these things, you should be really really flexible. That's when you can throw some other other chords in the mix. Maybe throw out a boring one and substitute something you haven't played as much. To play solo notes and not just chords, you'll want to know the notes on the neck. That way you can suggest a chord to the listener without really playing a chord. If you're practicing then a lot should come naturally when you play.

  • @sampacker6547
    @sampacker6547 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Optional step: noodle or improvise using mostly chords that carry a melody using upper structures. Throw in the occasional solo. Basically play an improvised giant steps with some licks. Add a funky picking pattern for extra interest.

    Of course as always with the guitar, the most important thing is practice, practice and even more practice. Oh, and dont forget to practice a lot.

    Tip number 6.
    This one makes all the difference to me. Use a backing track!
    I feel bored many times and my solos sound dull and boring, but when I put a backing track everything changes. My motivation, the passion I put into the solo, It's a game-changer to me.
    Thanks Paul for the high-quality content, as always.

      So when someone asks you to play something you’re gonna pull out your backing track and play along w it? I don’t think thats the point here.

    another tip is to play a few notes and to stay on them. Rather than looking at the whole fretboard and thinking "omg where do I begin..? So many notes", it can help to stay in one spot and to come up with 20 different melodies with just a couple of notes. Vary speed, rhythm or the order of notes and you can keep noodling endlessly

    • @TSgitaar
      @TSgitaar 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Great tip. I do this a lot with my students. Sometimes we just steal a lick by BB King or someone else and then try to come up with as much variations as we can. Great way to get into improvising.

    • @psteeg3551
      @psteeg3551 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      exactly! perhaps even more helpful to start with a lick or riff that you can play already

    I adore how simple it is. It sounds so clean and neat. Calculated yet it has a bounce. Clearly this man has been practicing. And that’s the key. You grind and hammer away. I think this is the one video that’s set the spark for me to pick up my guitar again with with consistency. It’s been a rough year and that’s why I stopped but that was a mistake.
    I’ll get off my soap box now. This was wicked good though!

    I agree with another commentator here in hoping, every time I watch a new video on your channel, that you will soon be announcing the release date of your new course. If this is the aim, you have succeeded. And, incidentally, I’m sure there is a commercial future for the phrase ‘King of Noodle’. Wonderful stuff, Paul, and as so often, based on empathy with those frustrated by their own playing habits.

    Great tips! I was impressed at #1...and more impressed with each tip. I've got a Digitech trio+. You play a chord progression into it's looper, and it figures out bass and drums in a style/genre that you pick. A great quote - to get motivated is: You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to become great.

    I think voicing what you play helps, sometimes when I’m noodling I just talk up some fake lyrics and synchronize what I’m singing with what I’m playing, I’ve only been playing about a year and a half but it’s helped me with improvising a lot!

  • @JammyGit
    @JammyGit 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Tip 6 - Use a ditto looper pedal to lay down a simple bass groove, then add a chord progression, and finish with a smattering of pentatonic scales on top. Repeat as necessary. 👍
    By the way, that's a very nice looking and sounding guitar, it has a nice Rickenbacker vibe to it but the P90s make it sound much meatier. I don't know why but orange guitars always make me feel hungry.
    Also, those Duesenberg Les Trems are a brilliant innovation for anyone that has a tune-o-matic & stoptail bridge setup. The installation is simple and they work brilliantly for anybody wanting a Bigsby on their guitar, and at £50-£60 they don't cost too much, about a third of the price a Bigsby would cost. I have one on my Tokai Les Paul with humbucker sized P90s and it's brilliant, especially when you swap the tune-o-matic bridge for a roller bridge, the tuning stability is pretty good.
