All the content in this lesson is expanded on in depth in my course Guitar Super System at guitarsupersystem.com

....what a solo..if it was written by a famous guitarist it would have gone in the top 100 list of greatest guitar solos...

I still don’t understand how to solo over chord progressions... but cool video I guess

Great! Finally someone makes clear, how important triads are. So underrated! I really had difficulties to remember all the different scales and modes at the beginning and I was about getting up. Triads helped me alot and now my whole playing is based on triads. It helped me to use the whole fretboard while playing/improvising. I rarely use scales and modes anymore.

Can't believe how fast this channel is growing btw

Geez! That solo at the end...just freakin' awsome!

Many people looked at their guitars that day and just sighed. That was insanely brilliant. Melodic playing is a big goal for me, and that was inspiring and amazing. Thank you for what you do.

6 month ago I couldn't even tell you what a triad was, now that my playing has developed I see the they are one of the most important things in soloing/improvisation and they help you free your playing up too, thanks Tyler!!!

I waited too long to sign up to your "Guitar Super System" channel. I should have done much sooner. You are a fabulous teacher that captures the heart & soul of Sweet Melodic Music. Stay healthy so you can expand our minds.

That solo! And the transition with the pick! (7:02)

Can't wait until you make an album. You always come up with amazing demos that I wish were much longer!

Honestly theory doesn't matter at all.. just play random notes as long as you have distortion and delay

I'm learning triads as my home base but remembering and jumping to all positions so quickly will take a lot of practice. However to see your solo in this clip it's inspiring to work towards. Cheers from Australia mate 👍

Every guitar player needs to see this for sure. Inspired the heck out of me.

Watching it back after 7 years.. can't believe how far ive come. Thank you tyler for all the videos it inspired me so much ❤

This D minor chord can be accessed by triads. Which triads? The D minor triads. There’s more than one D minor triad? There’s the D minor triad and all its inversions. Those are different triads? Well, they’re all the same triad actually. And is the D minor triad the same as the D minor chord? Mos definitely, that’s why it works! So we can access the D minor chord by using the D minor chord? You bet!

that solo at the end😍

I am a subscriber and have watched several of your videos but I have to say that he Arpeggio sequence you do at the end is TRULY MIND BLOWING. I would love to know how you are playing that! It sounds to me like it is over an A7 chord. However in the lesson you are saying it over an EDim7 chord. Either way, it SOUNDS AMAZING! I've been playing over 30 years and am passionate about lead guitar. I just started my you tube channel "Clay Jarvis Guitar" and i'm trying to learn everything I can to improve my lead skills and have the most success with my teaching and success on KZfaq. I'm definitely inspired by watching your videos and your skills. Thank you!

Bro. I was about to be like, give me less words more play, then, I finished the vid and was blown away. Well freakin played sir. Ur obviously a satriani/ vai fan. Well done bro seriously thanks. Got a new subscriber here.

Seldom do I hear something as mesmerising as that last solo! As a huge John Mayer, M.Knopfler, K.Urban and B.Paisley fan - I still found that solo to be some of the greater stuff I've heard. Melodic, slow, fast and lovely! Just found your channel, but count me in - I'm coming back for more!

That flick of the switch to the bridge pickup just before the harmonic.. smooth!!!!!

Thank you man! This one lesson has really brought the way I think about music closer together more than ever. Thank you for your hard work. Cool staff🐥

Stunned by your talent! Wow

God, when are you gonna come up with an album we can enjoy listening to as much as this solo. It's like the tenth time I'm listening to it and still just as awesome!

Your memory is insanely brilliant! Being great in the guitar takes firstly a great memory and then being able to apply what you've learned. Most good musicians are very clever and have brains that could be used for high level maths or science

7:02 has a Mayer vibe ha. Killer solo man! Love it.

The end part of your solo was so good.

dude, this was HANDS DOWN the best playing I've seen from you. well done

Hey, I'd like to ask you a question. First of all, I'm rhythm guitarist foremost, so I have not that much experience soloing, and I'm mainly learning it. The approach haveI is pretty different of system you do. What I do is: I've learned the places of notes of fretboard, so I know where root is with each chord. Then I know where minor / major thirds are relative to that root (string up and half step / whole step down) and where fifths are. (obvious from 5 chord shape). What I do is to relate every note I play to these pivot points, trying to follow the progression. So all I need to remember when soloing is the root, and where the progression is going. I think the main obstacle from there is to just practice how the intervals fit, but what do you think? Sorry for the long post... I welcome opinion and thought :)

Dude, I'm huge fan of your work! You really think out of the box when it comes to produce guitar videos on internet. Please, keep them coming! Greetings from Brazil.

PRS is the most comfortable guitar ever for me. Been playing my custom 22 for 15 years. As you get older you will appreciate PRS even more. So melodic.

the last solo literally KILLED me! But Thanks a lot! BTW.......You've that tone which is very unique and i LOVE IT....keep this up! \m/

DUDE! YOU'RE AWESOME!!! No, but really, I adore your guitar playing skills

Beautifully explained . Cleanest lesson I've seen that explains a true concept to improvisation

First thing I learned from another self taught guitarist is learn a scale, learn the slide from up and down the neck hitting key notes if needed. Find the chords the chorus or the riff is on. Usually the first chord or third to last chord is what I choose to solo over because it's matching and following the chords one way or another

wow you are the best guitarist out of the YT instructors. Really refreshing stuff in that solo

your clean tone sounds beaut!!

You are becoming one of my favorite you tubers. You play so effortlessly, and your tone is unique.

Hey man, that solo is great! I had to back & listen to it again.

I’m doing the tomo Fujita guitar music course, single best thing I’ve ever done for my playing it will help you grasp concepts like this that Tyler is talking about. Haven’t tried the course but considering he talks about it tomo I’m guessing it’s great.

Dude, you managed to make me check your course out, and I'm getting it today. I hope I learn that fancy stuff you're always talking about!

I've been playing guitar for almost 8 years now I started out learning what everyone does Metallica and all the other bands that seem to have a catchy tune to them and/ or a recognizable one like all the classic rock band ACDC Led Zeppelin Etc after about the three or four-year Mark I started to dabble in my own stuff I looked up music theory for about a year and sorta understood what was going on but could not figure out doing lead solo over chord progressions I gave up guitar entirely for about a year until I figured it out a theory of my own I bought a Looper pedal but less than a hundred bucks it also had some other effects as well but I wrote some small ribs very very repeatable one and just pulled around on the guitar neck for a few hours doing whatever sound good even if it's out of the same scale kind of like what Dimebag Darrell does in wing it with a little of my own taste in there maybe some inspiration I kind of feel like cooking and learning an instrument it's the same you can take some inspiration and old recipes but nothing is going to be original unless it's your own work so my tips is learn scales especially the basics learn as many chords as possible buy a Looper pedal and go from there if you want to be more technical diving to music theory it's a whole nother World instead of just doing what sounds right follow certain ideals that make it why and how it sounds right in what areas you can explore with it Sorry for any bad grammar I'm using text-to-speech off my phone

This is how I naturally learned. I never like sticking to one key while soloing. I learned before then internet got huge, back when it was just kinda guessing how they did it by ear

That was legit one of the best solos I've heard from you, it was fucking fantastic!

THIS GUY! Son that solo was BEAST! Your awesome!

you've answered what to do ,but not how to do it. im still confused

I’m back for the 4th time to hear this great solo once again!!

ive listened to alot of your stuff and thats one of the best guitar riffs and soloing you have played..... im a metal monster as well so credit where credits due... nice work mate.

I get it and it definitely opened my mind. I learned all my basic theory stuff while in prison, never thought to use the triads as like expression individually, they were go to 3 note chord patterns to be played over my progression as like emphasis, but yeah no yeah I fucking love you

OK I've watched a ton of your vids, and downloaded/am using the Super System. And this video gets me very close to understanding, but I'm not quite there. I have a suggestion that may help me or others in my position. Can you make a video where you do like "Directors Commentary" as you're soloing? So take the solo at the end of this video, and just talk over it with what is going through your head as the chords change. I'm struggling because I know D minor pentatonic will work over the entire progression, but I also know that E Mixolydian will work during the E7 chord. In your head, are you going "OK here comes E Mixolydian, let's find some notes that fit" or is it more like "OK staying within D minor, what notes can I add in from E Mixolydian for some color." And if it's the first one, do you worry about making the melody somewhat linear or do you put a hard stop on whatever you were thinking in D minor, and start fresh wherever you want during E7? Let me know if this makes sense at all, it's becoming less and less clear in my head the more I talk about it

This was a fantastic video, short, but really detailed. I think this will really help my solo writing, and improve my music, so thank you!

this is a very helpful and easy to understand lesson that can really help my playing. thank you.

That last solo was killer...... I don't consider myself worthy of a "Paul Read Smith" guitar But you are ! ! Infact he should sponsor you ! You don't hear that tone though many players or guitars...... Thats for sure

You are a really good teacher. I wish you well with your guitar endeavours.

look at this fascinating speed @ 7:12 there are missing frames I swear. I really really appreciate your channel.

Freakin love it! Thank you! I hope to be half as good as you within a year!

Your tone in this video is unthinkably good!!

the solos at the end of lessons are really inspiring

A have a question. Lets imagine, we have a Dm Em F chord progression. Does it mean,that when I heard a Dm - I just can play a Dm scale? Or D dorian? Same with a next chord, and so on?

That solo was insanely beautiful man, just started getting into jazzfusion and soloing over chord changes is a must now. But goddamn, that solo was so fucking tasty. holy shit.

Thanks dude, great video and great advice on using triads for moving between scale progressions, really helped me approach my improv in a new light

I gotta say Tyler is one hell of a guitarist

Nice! Most people are too interested in shredding and not playing melodically. That gets old quickly but I could listen to tat all day

it's really useful !!! This solved the problem that has troubled me for many years

Really cool lead at the end, there aren’t much videos on KZfaq on this subject

I want to buy your lessons but we’re in the middle of a world wide pandemic so I think I’ll wait til that dies down first. Keep the videos up they’re greeeaaaat!

loved the diminished arpeggios

Thank you so much for all of your videos you are my favorite guitar KZfaqr you've just helped me improve so much thank you man

Epic! Not sure if I really learnt enough to actually make it work for me, but that solo was epic! If the theory was not enough, the inspiration I got was certainly more than enough.

U have magic in ur fingers.. love it

Pretending you made up the chord progression on the spot ;)

That delay is really good. Just floating in the background

This is the best melodic solo i’ve ever heard

Hahaha, the most popular Dmin backing track on youtube tho.

Your not only entertaining, but a badass on guitar! Thank you for all your great videos! 🤘

this has changed litteraly everything

Tyler, this is your best video!! Keep more coming!!

you are amazing man, i´m really thank with your classes

Sorry, what's your name? This channel just happened to be the discovery of the week. Thanks a lot!!

That was incredibly helpful, I sound great right now! lol

I desperately need to get out of the box. Will be putting my Boss RC-1 through its paces tonight and work on those damn triads! Great lesson Tyler!

I watch a lot of videos and instructors.......your pretty impressive. Keep up the good work.

you really the God of guitar , i love you .

do modes man, i can't find a decent lesson about modes

Damn those soloing techniques you used sounded gorgeous! Wow🤘🏻

Man, that solo at 6.18 was majestic. Very David Gilmour sounding!

I mean this was 2 years ago but i gotta say it, that solo was amazing!

what a beautiful clean sound

That solo was so amazing. I cried.

To really numb it down, the main thing people really need to master is the major scale because everything is built off of the major.

I didn't realize until watching this video that a lot of my playing utilises triads. Pretty interesting to learn the theory about your own playing. Great video though man!

That solo at the end was beautiful. Im good but im not quite there yet, gonna study this one.

love that solo

Thankyou so much This was all I needed.. Now all I have to do is practice 😀😅

Hoping you to succeed in KZfaq, keep going!

Truly amazing, I think I will pick up Guitar Super System

Nicest guitar teacher I have ever seen.

i love this backing track so much.... I've also used it back in 2015...😂 love your channel, it helps us alot.

Starting to love triads now 💛🎸

I'm an avid guitar player and I can tell you one thing, most important thing is if you feel but you cry and then you can hear it, you're one step ahead
