I’d love to see you extend this in a few directions. One being open string ideas. Another would be something like triplet based runs on the turnaround. Even ‘What not to do’. Or ‘When to use chord connectors and fills’. So the singer doesn’t turn around and tell you to stfu with your guitar ha. Love the content!

I think you've broken some sort of unwritten rule for youtube guitar teachers. This is the first video I've seen that breaks down solo'ing in this way, and it really simplifies the whole concept of where the pentatonic shapes fit. Thank you, thank you, and thank you

I have played guitar for 7 or 8 years now on and off, but only ever learning a couple songs at a time and then getting out of playing because I realized I didn’t know how to improvise and make something up myself. I tried to learn bits of theory, but could never really connect it with the instrument. Over the years I even had effect pedals gifted to me which I attempted to use, but was never able to very well because I could never create my own music. I have only watched a handful of your tutorial videos, and I have already be pulled all those pedals out of the closet and have started creating chord progressions, and improvising over top of them. Thank you so much for making videos that actually makes sense.

I think the most important thing, to jumping off into soloing, that absolutely no one talks about is to get out of the habit of strumming - that is the biggest roadblock mentally that does not allow us to solo We are too caught up strumming and can't break off; the trick is to do just one strum to set up the chord and set off
@andrewclarkeguitar Жыл бұрын
Good point!
@gohjohan Жыл бұрын
For strumming, it's a rhythm thing, which one of the component that I lack. The other component is listening, especially when playing with others. I'm classically trained because of piano, so I follow exactly what's on the the sheet music. I've learn now to listen and improvise as I go along with other musicians.

I think an important aspect is also analysing where the vocal melody lands in a chord and lead the lick in that direction. Also, vocalising the lick before executing it. The feel of essentially playing what’s in our head and then adding the context to make it sound right. This however is easier said than done but it’s a takeaway from Victor Wooten that I apply. It’s slow in the beginning though. Learning vocals really helped me with this because melodic solos have always inspired me rather than those overused licks that all sound the same after sometime.
