Soloing Over Chord Changes on Guitar

    Soloing over chord changes can seem a daunting task, especially if the changes are frequent and unconventional.
    But we have to start somewhere. The key thing is to break it all down into the smallest practical steps possible. That's what I aim to help you do throughout this series of lessons. By the end of the series you should have a clear process in your mind for soloing over any sequence of chords that may be thrown at you.
    In this lesson we learn about the two main types of chord change you're likely to solo over and the concept of note selection within a scale. We then move on to building simple phrases over 2 chords - C major and F major (the 1 and 4 chords of C major).

    'Wandering aimlessly up and down the scale' describes my playing perfectly even after 15 years!! 😁

    Finally. Someone who breaks down theory instead of just showing us thirds, sevenths and arpeggios.

    I am a self taught guitarist and learning from internet is so hard and the progress is so slow.
    But damn, youtube algorithm blessed me with a very good Teacher, now I can feel that I can improve faster

    As a beginner to guitar soloing, I have watched tons and tons of videos, including those from world renowned players. This is the only ones that really help me to see how to start playing some music. Tons of good players there, but so few can teach. This is the kind of video the student needs. Thank you so much!

      Only if these videos got recommended. I found these videos on an extensive search for the best music theory lessons on TH-cam, I had to search extensively or all I got was Marty Schwartz and every other schmuck on TH-cam. Not dissing them.

  • @TheDdkk1
    @TheDdkk1 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Great video. You really break the main idea down to an easy to follow lesson. I've watched countless triad and playing over chord videos but this was especially helpful. No other tutorial explained the idea of passing tones between starting and landing notes this well.

    Oh my god!!! I was looking so hard and so long for such an explanation! All the other stuff just overwhelms you with unnecessary info but wit this I can finally start learning something. Thank you very much sir!

    Your lessons are incredibly useful, clear, and well-explained. All of the information and examples are so relevant and rich that it is going to take me a long time to assimilate so that this comes out in my playing, but the 'journey' will be a fun and rewarding one. I have been looking for this kind of information for a while, and am so glad that you are out there. Many thanks.

    The TH-cam algorithm added your videos to my playlist and... Wow! I never thought I would understand the application of scales to learn to play lead. This video is a blueprint to learning the application. I learned more in this 12 minute video about playing lead than I have in the last 2 years. Thank you!!! ... Subscribed

    That was what I was looking for so long. Simple concept that gives you starting point for building up. In most of the lessons out there, people are like: 'We start here... then... You hear that change?... Let's try something else... Experiment... Do this...' How a beginner is supposed to understand such 'explanation'?! Cheers for that lesson!

    OMG, a great lesson. A very consistent and helpful approach "start with two chord notes, than add one note between them, than add scale phrase between them".

    Good. To the point with no annoying intro or tedious guitar sounds. I like how you focus on note-numbers (from the scale) but also mention the chord-tone numbers. Exactly how I teach. I'll check out your other stuff.

    This is the first time I see soloing (on guitar or any other instrument) so beautifully explained. It certainly adds a foundation that could, perhaps, be lacking if you started playing 'by ear'. Thanks heaps for the lesson.
