sounding generic doesn't sound all that bad to me...teach me generic and I'll worry about the piano and saxophone solos later.

First time I see this approach to triads and their inversions. I've been practicing triads on the highest strings, but then I see this and it seems I don't know anything. This is different.

Your teaching has forced me to have a new dream to become a guitarist in the future Charlie Long ❤❤❤❤❤

Hey Charlie, you've asked me in the past what lesson I thought would be a good idea to teach. I've been practicing some of the stuff you teach in this very video for years, to my surprise. It keeps my fingers limber I suppose, but I'm not aware of how it has helped me play better. So the next one could be covering how learning this type of material makes you any better.

You got me on the first half, I'm not gonna lie haha. Good one Charlie, I took a good lesson from the video to practice on and at the same time it was somehow inspiring. Cheers

thanks Charlie

Hi Charlie !! Cool concept!! Congrats for your channel !

Amazing!!!! Thank You so much!!!!

Hey Charlie, I've just recently been getting into your videos . First time I've watched this one. Am I mistaken at around 9 min 20 sec when you say he's going from the 2nd to the third the diagram shows moving from the 4th to the 5th fret.... shouldn't it be to the 5th fret for a major 6th? Id love to get some one on one pointers from you some time! Great teacher.

Could have been a great lesson. You used tabs when doing 3 notes per string then when you started changing things you didn’t use any tabs. Someone already stated that once you left the 3 notes per string we didn’t know which key you were in. I thought that if you used a note as root you were telling me what key it was in. I’ve been playing for sometime but got lost. Thanks for sharing.

I am only playing only scales from years………helping me in any solo

Charlie!! Love all your lessons, man. you are hands down one of the BEST teachers on YT. you really help bridge the gaps between learning a concept and applying. THANK YOU

Thanks Charlie 👏👏🤍💜💙❤

Thanks Charlie 👏👏🤍💜💙❤

Thanks! K Hope you’re doing well. Love the Patreon goodie’s ❤

Keep up the great job Charlie ❤

Hope you’re staying cool and enjoying the heat ..!

you loose me when you talk about root notes. First c as root of the frase. Then d as root of the frase. But is that all in the c major scale? confusing, I dont get it

Charlie you are amazing guitar teacher i learn alot from you bless you

Charlie you are amazing guitar teacher i learn alot from you bless you

Be better with tabs.Great lesson.

More helpful content, as usual. I love your teaching style and the subjects of your lessons! Please show some love for the 2-notes-per-string crowd! #Subscribed

Dear Charlie. Thank you for another very inspirring and high quality tutorial. I'm 67 and I've recently picked up the guitar again, after I picked up the bass and put the guitar down 47 years ago. I realy enjoy playing bass, but I only did it, because I became member of a band, who needed a bass player. This time I'm digging deep and hanging on, for the rest of my life.

Excellent lesson. I think is the first time I see this so clearly explained. Thanks.

Even beginners can play like pros the way you teach ❤❤❤

Wow, Thanks! These are truly nuggets of GOLD..!!!

This is one of your best lessons! Now I just need a guitar and a deserted island! :)

Charlie, you're the man! Your teaching is exactly what I've been searching for after years of fretboard frustration. Practice wasn't the issue, i needed direction and boy do you deliver! Long live Charlie!

QUICK! Say and Play the note sequences for all the second inversions of all the minor7 flat 5 chords 🤪

You should have more subscribers! Thanks for this great lesson! I honestly learned a lot!

I suddenly subscribed! ❤

I'm sure there are a myriad more examples, but the solo i always think of using this technique is the guitar solo in China Grove. It goes from major to minor.

03:26 my boy says minor 3rd differently

so inspiring

O man you probably broke down 10 years into 6 months I guess ❤❤❤❤ great great lesson

Very cool! I had the single of Spooky in the 1970’s.

I can tell you what the problem is. These idiots see pros doing it and making it look effortless. So they assume anyone can just pick up s guitar and do it. Sorry, dudes. First, you have to practice, practice, practice. And practice more. Second, you need to have music inside your head that wants to get out. Otherwise, you're not a musician. Sorry. Maybe if you learn enough theory, you can fake it. Otherwise, you'll just have to accept it.

Excellent stuff.. these are so wonderful and growing personally.

top fella charlie

Great stuff Charlie ❤

Wonderfully demonstrated and illustrated, thank you!!

The issue I am struggling with is getting my 70 year old fingers to move fluidly. With some arthritis in my hands from beating them up for 50 years as an auto technician, plus previously broken and pinned on the end middle finger knuckle, it is a struggle to use all of my hand digits to move with the scales. I am trying but having fun with playing what I can! I'll never be a SRV or Hendrix but knowing you limitations helps. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

I've been playing songs my whole life , some hard songs as well but i know nothing of music theory. I've always wanted to know more.

These are good points. Another strategy is to work visually, with minimal theory knowledge (that'll come). Learn just one minor pentatonic scale shape, and chord shapes (using CAGED). To improvise a solo on the spot, first, know what key you're playing in. If it's a major key, the scale shape will work either in the position you learned, or thee frets to the left, when it magically becomes a major scale. If the key is minor, then the shape will really work only in the first position. Then, hit some notes from that scale, and notes that match whatever chord's being played at that time. This is a simplification, but it works, and is a good starting point, especially if you find music theory problematic.

I really liked an absolutely loved the super blues scale that came before the 11 note scale ... The 8 note one. So cool!

Really great lesson, Charlie!

Yep over my. Head

Even though I can't do it (yet) I followed along with fairly good understanding. I have to thank you for such clarity in your teaching that you bring us along. I appreciate your skill as a teacher.

Guilty as charged! I can hit speed bag and make it sound like a tap dancer. But put me in a ring and I become Joe Glass Jaw! My guitar playing is the same. 😑

I love your tone! This is the second video of yours that I have seen. 👍 I really like your phrasing, which what I want to work on. As you spoke about in the soloing video I know all sorts of scales, so when I play solos it sounds like I'm playing scales in the same licks over and over.
