Need more instruction using major scale examples. For worship and praise music.

@@ronaldpennington7902 Great idea thanks. Yes I have used these shapes many times in several churches I've played with over the years. You can come up with some really cool lead lines.

Thanks Glad you like it?

Very Welcome glad it helps😃!

Yes thanks!

@@aburtonkcmo wow thanks so much! Really glad it helps!

Thanks so much my pleasure! Happy to help!

Hi Shaun! Thanks so much for you kind words! I'm working on a way to start providing some of the backing tracks I create. Stay tuned! 👍

Thanks so much.

Very welcome!

I know a bit of theory, the shapes, patterns, etc and where everything is all over the fretboard. Plus I have good playing technique and have been at it off and on for many years. With that being said I struggle still to make music with it all so I totally understand your frustration. My advice is to find videos like this and copy what is being done until you have it down cold then start experimenting adding your own twists. Don't beat yourself up for things you try which don't sound great, it's all part of the process. When you do come up with something you like write it down so you remember. I often get inspiration and learn more from the beginner videos even though I'm far from a beginner. I also like to find guitar tabs in the same key or at least a similar type of music I'm working in and look through for ideas and inspiration. I may not play it as they tabbed it but it sort of gives me ideas for placing notes and structuring things etc. For sure: Always play over your own chords or a backing track even if it's just ONE CHORD. Nothing wrong with jamming over one static chord as it gives context to what you're playing instead of just random notes hanging in the air by themselves. A metronome or drum track is very important. If you don't already remember to close your eyes and LISTEN to your music. The most important thing is to enjoy yourself and never compare yourself to these KZfaq players. Most of these guys are gifted either naturally or by a ton of training. Peace my Canadian brother.

@@robshaffer2274 I did buy a looper pedal but i wish I would have purchased one with a drum beat in it. And you hit the nail on the head with me, I have this horrible tendency to learn just enough of something then move on quickly to something new and not have it down an exact science. I need to slow down and calm down lol. I appreciate the lengthy response. I want to reread it again to make sure I don’t miss anything. What I don’t see a lot of “how to make a simple backing track” to play over such as you suggested. I love triads, arpeggios, which is a reason I love your videos. There right up my alley!!!! Cheers bro

@@ColdCanadian911 Just remember we are all in this journey together! I don't want you to be frustrated but inspired! My goal for this lesson was to show you the possibilities using these 2 shape positions. I mentioned it in the lesson toward the end but you can often play a really nice lead line or entire solo just using the 4 chord house box shape. Like @robshaffer2274 mentioned making a simple backing track with 1 or 2 chords is a great way to do this. I'm working on a way to start providing my backing tracks so you can practice them at home.

Your comment totally resonates with me. I talk with my teacher about it frequently, I call it the slowness of recall. I know the shapes, the triads etc but the ability to recall them is just too slow in the heat of the moment. What I have found to help with that is to hammer jam tracks. Jam tracks are the closest thing to playing with a band and help with timing and recall. I have found that after a while some of the licks I come up with get ingrained into the toolbox. Your not alone so keep at it 👍👍👍

So I can use this method on any 12 bar blues back track that I've downloaded from tubidy

@@jacostoffbergh9544 if you know the key the backing track is in and the chords that are use. E.G. if it's in the key of E and uses A and B, then I would use the house in the key of A and use the E pentatonic scale.

Yes some call it that for sure! Although as you see it really works for more than just the blues in the backing track style. I think that's the beauty of it. 🙂

​@@jacostoffbergh9544 If it's in a major key then yes for the most part. There are a few exceptions like anything. Although this will not work very well for a minor key as there are notes that will clash and sounds pretty bad.

@@b00ts4ndc4ts I would add you could start mixing major and minor scales over a major key blues to really add some extra sauce. That might be great idea for another lesson!

Kenneth I typically make my own tracks although some times I have used others. If you are having trouble getting your guitar in tune with a track then that particular track might not be the correct pitch or normal standard e 440 tuning.

That can be an issue for me.@@UpliftingRiffs

Shane, do you have an effects loop in the back of your amp? @@UpliftingRiffs

Not in my physical amp. I run effects loops in my digital stuff.

Thanks!😎

I just ended up here by chance and I'm not sure if I understand the question but I'll give it a shot. EDIT: It just dawned on me that maybe it confused you that when he said the (LAST NOTE IN A) you logically thought the last note in the scale of A should be G# and that would make sense. However what he meant was he was on the last note available in the BOX SHAPE or HOUSE SHAPE - he had arrived at the last note available to him to play which happened to be the B NOTE on the high E String . He then counted four frets up (towards the pickups) and went to the D Chord and again the House Shape in that chord. Keep in mind that the rest of the scale in A that he is using is ABOVE the A Note in this case. It's the same as when you play the A Major Chord - the notes which make the chord are A - C# - E and you can play those in any order C# - E - A or E -C# -A and all three are still an A Chord regardless of what order you play the notes. So in this case his notes are ABOVE his A Root Note but still in the scale. I thought maybe that was what caused the confusion.

Thanks Kenneth. I use a variety of things! I'm using some reverb and a touch of delay on this lesson.

You are welcome, Shane! In the video, you have a sound similar to some slow blues I listen to here. For example whisky blues, And slow Blues Do you have an effects loop in the back of your amp. I love the way you are keeping these lessons simple. Again great work. @@UpliftingRiffs

Awesome glad it's helpful.
