In this guitar lesson, I'm going to show you how to use scales to play solos on guitar. We'll cover the basic music theory involved, the five essential guitar scales, how to connect the five scales, and how to apply them to a real song to improvise your own solos. The five scales we'll be using to solo with are the minor pentatonic scale, the major pentatonic scale, the major scale, the natural minor scale, and the blues scale. If you have any questions, please leave them in the comments below. Thanks for watching!

Does your listen and play course compliment this lesson or visa versa

@andrewclarkeguitar 3 ай бұрын

@@lynfox1533 the course is more focused on keys and chords. Definitely very important to know if you want to get into improvising and soloing, but it doesn’t get into lead stuff if that’s more what you’re looking for.

Just thinking about how they decided to make a guitar the way they did hundreds of years ago just blows me away. The arranging of the strings and frets to basically have everything connect and work with 4 fingers is genious.

First lesson I’ve seen combining scales to play a solo rather than just a minor pentatonic and it’s 5 shapes. I like the concept of a mish mash of scales in one area of the fretboard. Great ! Gonna try it.

Thanks for the lesson and the very useful backing tracks, Andrew, much appreciated. Completely agree, can't beat putting in the time and hearing what works as you go. It's great fun putting on a backing track and noodling with purpose and intent, the learning happens so much quicker when you put in the reps in a 'real world' scenario than just a metronome!

Thank you for 11:44 - 12:41. All this time, I thought you were to change the scale for EACH chord 💀Lesson learned: Just stay in the scale of the song's key and try to punctuate on the chord notes as they go by 💪

When you start the backing track at 13.40 I don't understand what is meant by F progression then later D progression if we're playing C major or A minor.

@andrewclarkeguitar 2 күн бұрын

These chord progressions are from the key of C major/A minor. Chord progressions from this key can contain any mix of the 7 chords that exist naturally inside the key: C Major, D Minor, E Minor, F Major, G Major, A Minor, B Diminished.
